Coup D'Etat: A Practical Handbook. by Edward N. Luttwak, Edward N. Luttwak

rjnn's review

5.0

An all-time classic, I'd read this alongside Michael Chwe's "Rational Ritual" (for the more game theoretic treatment of common knowledge problems, of which military coups are a great example), and Frederick Forsyth's "The Dogs of War", for a verisimilar fictional treatment of the very same subject matter.
