Description

Conspiracies and coups have existed as long as humanity has engaged in politics. In every age, the ambitious have challenged the legitimate holder of the throne. A crisis of power - economic, political - is fertile ground for a coup, especially a military one. Populist promises of a paradise on earth are generously handed out. But as a rule, having achieved its goal, power forgets its promises. The main thing is to secure itself against potential opponents capable of carrying out a new coup. This book tells of the hundred greatest conspiracies and coups of world history - from the Ancient East to the most recent history of the USSR and the United States.
