Coup D'Etat: The Technique of Revolution
by Curzio Malaparte
On This Page
Description
Originally published in Paris in 1931 and banned in Italy, this book quickly reached twenty editions, earning a jail sentence for its author. To be called a student of Marxism who engineered a successful coup, such worldwide success irritated Benito Mussolini, coming from former fascist journalist such as Curzio Malaparte. The main thesis is that the political takeover of a country has nothing to do with right or wrong or ideology but is entirely a matter of technique. Among the many show more examples cited are Mussolini and Leon Trotsky, who both receive the highest marks for effectively carrying out a textbook coup d'#65533;tat. Curzio Malaparte (1898-1957) is the author of Kaputt and The Skin. show lessTags

Heden ten dage vallen uit Techniek van de staatsgreep nog weinig lessen te halen. Het boek leest eerder als een geschiedenisles over verschillende revoluties en coups in de toen recente geschiedenis, met een kleine voorspelling voor de komende jaren als kers op de taart. Interessant, maar weinig relevant.
