Washington Post A powerful book on military coups. Singh's argument is convincing and straightforward... Impressive. This reviewer would not be surprised if Seizing Power quickly establishes itself as a must-read for students of coups and military politics in the years to come. Perspectives on Politics This is a truly insightful book on a subject-coups as means of seizing power-that has been little researched and written about. Naunihal Singh is a true pioneer in that regard, and we must commend him for making a unique contribution to military knowledge with this important, highly useful, and valuable book.
