Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term coup d'état--French for stroke of the state--brings to mind coups staged by power-hungry generals who overthrow the existing regime, not to democratize, but to concentrate power in their own hands as dictators. We assume all coups look the same, smell the same, and present the same threats to democracy. It's a powerful, concise, and self-reinforcing idea. It's also wrong. In The Democratic Coup d'État, Ozan Varol advances a simple, yet controversial, argument: Sometimes, a democracy is established through a military coup. Covering events from the Athenian Navy's stance in 411 B.C. against a tyrannical home government, to coups in the American colonies that ousted corrupt British governors, to twentieth-century coups that toppled dictators and established democracy in countries as diverse as Guinea-Bissau, Portugal, and Colombia, the book takes the reader on a gripping journey. Connecting the dots between these neglected events, Varol weaves a balanced narrative that challenges everything we thought we knew about military coups. In so doing, he tackles several baffling questions: How can an event as undemocratic as a military coup lead to democracy? Why would imposing generals-armed with tanks and guns and all-voluntarily surrender power to civilian politicians? What distinguishes militaries that help build democracies from those that destroy them? Varol's arguments made headlines across the globe in major media outlets and were cited critically in a public speech by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Written for a general audience, this book will entertain, challenge, and provoke, but more importantly, serve as a reminder of the imperative to question the standard narratives about our world and engage with all ideas, no matter how controversial.

Download or read book Hitler's War written by Harry Turtledove and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2009-08-04 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stroke of the pen and history is changed. In 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, determined to avoid war, signed the Munich Accord, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. But the following spring, Hitler snatched the rest of that country, and England, after a fatal act of appeasement, was fighting a war for which it was not prepared. Now, in this thrilling alternate history, another scenario is played out: What if Chamberlain had not signed the accord? In this action-packed chronicle of the war that might have been, Harry Turtledove uses dozens of points of view to tell the story: from American marines serving in Japanese-occupied China and ragtag volunteers fighting in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion in Spain to an American woman desperately trying to escape Nazi-occupied territory—and witnessing the war from within the belly of the beast. A tale of powerful leaders and ordinary people, at once brilliantly imaginative and hugely entertaining, Hitler’s War captures the beginning of a very different World War II—with a very different fate for our world today. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Harry Turtledove's The War that Came Early: West and East.

Download or read book How to Prevent Coups d'État written by Erica De Bruin and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively and provocative book, Erica De Bruin looks at the threats that rulers face from their own armed forces. Can they make their regimes impervious to coups? How to Prevent Coups d'État shows that how leaders organize their coercive institutions has a profound effect on the survival of their regimes. When rulers use presidential guards, militarized police, and militia to counterbalance the regular military, efforts to oust them from power via coups d'état are less likely to succeed. Even as counterbalancing helps to prevent successful interventions, however, the resentment that it generates within the regular military can provoke new coup attempts. And because counterbalancing changes how soldiers and police perceive the costs and benefits of a successful overthrow, it can create incentives for protracted fighting that result in the escalation of a coup into full-blown civil war. Drawing on an original dataset of state security forces in 110 countries over a span of fifty years, as well as case studies of coup attempts in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, De Bruin sheds light on how counterbalancing affects regime survival. Understanding the dynamics of counterbalancing, she shows, can help analysts predict when coups will occur, whether they will succeed, and how violent they are likely to be. The arguments and evidence in this book suggest that while counterbalancing may prevent successful coups, it is a risky strategy to pursue—and one that may weaken regimes in the long term.

Download or read book JFK - an American Coup written by John Hughes-Wilson and published by ReadHowYouWant. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas fifty years ago, various theories have swirled around what was a key event in American - and world - history. Whatever the conclusions of the US official Warren Report - that the President had been assassinated by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald - many people doubt that to be true. Indeed, President Nixon later admitted on tape that the report was 'a hoax committed on the American people.' John Hughes - Wilson, a former colonel in British Intelligence, set out in 2007 to go through the millions of words and thousands of pieces of evidence, to put together an intelligence jigsaw of what really happened that dreadful high noon in Dallas in 1963. The result is a dramatic exposure of what actually took place and a clear indication that, while some of the pieces of that jigsaw may be missing, the truth is emerging. While the US Federal Archive still keeps a million documents relating to the case under lock and key, it is beyond reasonable doubt that Jack Kennedy was the victim of a plot to remove the President of the United States. John Hughes - Wilson highlights the facts behind why Marilyn Monroe had to be silenced, LBJ's corrupt secrets, the Kennedys' secret Cuban coup plans, how the mafia manipulated politicians and the CIA, and how the assassination was covered up. Reading this book no one can be in any doubt that JFK's death was not at the hands of a lone deranged gunman, but a deadly plot to remove a President who threatened vested interests at home and abroad.

Download or read book Coup d’etat written by Jerry Kroth and published by Genotype. This book was released on 2013-09-07 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prof. Jerry Kroth's 50th anniversary edition presents the single, most plausible theory of the assassination. Coup d’etat is based on the admissions of grassy knoll gunman, James Files, the deathbed confession of CIA spymaster, E. Howard Hunt, and the most recent scholarship to appear in the last decade. Based also in part on his earlier work, Conspiracy in Camelot, Dr. Kroth proposes that Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, and Mafia, acting in concert, carried one of the greatest crimes in American history. Published by Genotype, Coup d'etat (2013) is a concise, well-documented expose of a brazen overthrow of the United States government by force of arms on November 22, 1963. Reviews from the publisher Coup d’etat is the definitive book on the Kennedy assassination! It should be required reading in every American high school. —Marvin Forrest, Ph.D., Psychotherapist, Santa Barbara Dr. Kroth cuts to the heart of the matter laying out a hard to dispute argument for what actually happened that distant half century ago when everything changed for all of us. At a time when apologists have seemed to dominate the trend in regarding Kennedy assassination publishing, it is important to swing the pendulum back toward the rational conclusion that something was deliberately taken from us, the course of our future was compromised, and it was those we most trusted, not a crazed outlier, who engineered it all. This is a very important book and a must read for those of us who care. —Steve Stelle, author of On shaky ground. Coup d'etat, is a must-read for those of us who were of voting age during those turbulent times at the end of Camelot and who recall the strange goings on of the Warren Commission Hearings. There were so many loose ends that have never been woven into a concise and believable explanation until now. —David Hall, author of The Rose

Download or read book Coup D'Etat in America Volume 1 written by Alan Weberman and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. Howard Hunt, who sued this author for writing about his involvement in the JFK assassination or "The Big Event" confessed to being part of the crew and named Frank Fiorini Sturgis as one of principals; Coup D'Etat in America was the book that inspired Congressman Henry Gonzalez to introduce a bill in Congress that led to the formation of House Select Committee on Assassinations. This is a longer updated version. It is based on the theory that the three tramps who were picked up about an hour after the Kennedy Assassination (not to be confused with the three real bums who were picked up right after the big event - Oliver Buck Revell of FBI Dallas FO floated this story to discredit the tramp theory) were E. Howard Hunt, CIA official who was instrumental in the overthrow of Arbenz of Guatemala and was deeply involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Frank Fiorini Sturgis, a leader of Operation 40 which involved assassinating all the Communists and their families in Cuba after Castro was deposed, and David Lemar Christ, who was locked up and tortured by Castro for bugging the ChiCom wire service and released in April 1963 in a prisoner exchange. It also documents the part that James Angleton played in Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union and Oswald's role in sabotaging an upcoming USSR USA Summit conference. Coup is based on years and years of research at NARA, Federal Court houses, personal interviews and the information I bought from Gerry Patrick Hemming, the man who brought Oswald into the mix and had him believing that he was running a counter-intelligence operation against the Cubans by trying to visit Cuba, by forming the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and other of Oswald's shenanigans. Hemming offered Oswald twice the cost of his rifle and told him to bring it to the TSBD on November 22, 1963. Oswald didn't have a clue that the big event was going down. Hemming tried to set me up for a fall to work off a beef. He said he knew of a lab where the Yippies could construct an atomic IED. Just taking a step in that direction is conspiracy. I told him my name was no Oswald. Coup also documents Jack Ruby's part in the conspiracy as the CIA and the Mafia had worked together to assassinate Fidel Castro. But Jack's flunkie Tippet messed up because Oswald had realized he was a patsy in the big event by this time and took Tippet out before Tippet could take him out as Ruby had ordered. Oswald had heard Hemming talk about scenarios where patsy's get blown away and suddenly realize that his old Marine buddy had set him up. This book in constantly being updated.
