description: The coup is the most frequently attempted method of changing government &amp; the most successful. Coup d'Etat outlines the mechanism of the coup &amp; analyzes the conditions political, military &amp; 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 &amp; the role of law is a concept little understood.List of FiguresList of TablesForewordPreace to the 1st EditionPreface to the 1979 EditionWhat is the coup d'état? --When is a coup d'état possible?The strategy of the coup d'étatThe planning of the coup d'étatThe execution of the coup d'étatAppendicesTablesIndex
