Coup d'état by Luttwak, or "how to overthrow a third-world country"
Short, simple, gives examples on what to do and not to do. Who to approach for the coup, what targets are important, how to compartmentalize the operation, who to capture vs kill, proper placement of blocking detachments to keep loyalists away from the capital, how to keep the officers involved in the coup from seizing power from you during the process.

Been reading "The Utility of Force", goes in depth into the shift from industrial warfare to low intensity warfare where the population is the terrain, so to speak. Pretty good read, if you're interested in why we can't seem to fix shit up in the ME.
