Political Coups

Summary

Political Coups explores the complex phenomenon of governmental overthrows, examining the military strategies, key figures, and destabilizing effects on national stability. It's vital for those wanting to understand the mechanics and consequences of coups d'état, events that consistently impact global politics. Coups are often driven by political corruption, economic inequality, military dissatisfaction, and external interference. Weak democratic institutions and divided societies can create environments ripe for such interventions, highlighting the importance of understanding the strategic and political patterns that shape their execution and impact. The book adopts a comparative approach, analyzing coups from different regions and historical periods to identify common themes. It begins by defining different types of coups, then explores major case studies, examining military strategies, key players, and immediate aftermaths. Building on these case studies, the patterns in strategic planning, execution, and impact on national stability are identified. Finally, it concludes by exploring strategies for coup prevention and mitigating negative consequences through strengthening democratic institutions and fostering national unity.

Raided by the Emperor (Gay...

There are perks to my new life. I’ll get a formal education. I’ll accompany him to his private island. 
But…something strange is happening. 
He’s placed me atop a stone altar in a dark chamber. He’s telling a sick, twisted story about the gods.

Where Angels Fear to Tread: The...

Sally Becker

'I was filled with apprehension about crossing the front line, but I would have risked my life to save just one child. Ivan was giving me a chance to save them all…'
This is the extraordinary work of Sally Becker, a humanitarian aid worker who for over three decades has risked it all in order to help the children of war.
Where Angels Fear to Tread is a reminder that – with determination, unrelenting passion and drive – one person can change the lives of so many.
In May 1993, Sally Becker went to Bosnia to help the innocent victims of war. She started by delivering humanitarian aid to the region, and was soon hailed as the 'Angel of Mostar' for rescuing wounded children and their families from the besieged city. Sally continued her work throughout the conflict and is credited with saving many lives.
When President Milosevic ordered his troops into Kosovo, her missions continued, this time on foot across the mountains. While attempting to bring sick and wounded children and their families to safety, she was captured by Serb paramilitaries, but neither this nor being shot by masked gunmen in Northern Albania could make her abandon her task.
Bosnia was Sally's first mission and the beginning of her lifelong commitment to help rescue children caught up in some of the most horrific wars around the world, including missions to help children in Iraq, Ukraine and most recently Gaza.
Her account provides a rare and invaluable insight into the complexities of international aid work, the shocking reality of life on the front lines and the desperate race to save innocent children trapped in war zones.
This is her extraordinary story.
Sally Becker's autobiography, a compelling narrative of her life in the service of others, is set to be the latest bestseller in non-fiction. Her memoirs, steeped in tales of charity and social welfare, underscore the power of individual action amidst the often sluggish responses of government institutions.
