The coup is the most frequently attempted method of changing government, and the most successful. Coup d' État outlines the mechanism of the coup and analyzes the conditions--political, military, and social, that gives rise to it. In doing so, the book sheds much light on societies where power does indeed grow out of the barrel of a gun and the role of law is a concept little understood.Luttwak, Edward N is the author of 'Coup D'Etat', published 1979 under ISBN 9780674175471 and ISBN 0674175476.
