Power Play in the Tropics
“The active phase of a coup is like a military operation – only more so. If the general principle of tactics is the application of force at the right place, the coup achieves this with surgical precision by striking at the organisational heart of the whole state; if speed is often important in military operations, in the coup it is an essential requirement. But the coup differs from most military operations in one crucial respect: while in war it is often advantageous to retain some forces as reserves to be used in later (and possibly more critical) phases of the conflict, in the coup the principle of total commitment applies. The active stage takes place in one short period of time and forces held back today will be useless tomorrow: all our forces must therefore be used in one decisive engagement.” – Edward Luttwak
