The coup is the most frequently attempted method of changing government, and the most successful. Coup d’État outlines the mechanism of the coup and analyzes the conditions―political, military, and 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 and the role of law is a concept little understood.

Second adventure in the Travis McGee series. Part-rebel, part-philosopher, every inch his own man, Travis McGee is a rugged Florida boat bum with a special genius for helping friends in trouble - or avenging their deaths.Her name was Nina. Dark-haired and delicately built, she was a sweetly wanton career girl, living alone in a Manhattan walk-up. In addition to companionship, she offered McGee the first clue, the first clue to a swindle. It was the very first thread in the elaborate fabric of a swindle so gigantic that it took a small army of shysters and financiers to keep it secret.The clue sets McGee on a wild and tortuous chase that takes him into the decadent world of Café Society, the ruthless world of really BIG money, and the weird and terrifying frontier of hallucinogenic drugs.This is the third Fawcett edition, with the same cover art as the first two.
