This is the classic book on the topic:
Edward Luttwak, Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook, 1968
Edward Luttwak, Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook, 1968
It seems that's a really big omission in any "practical" handbook. Apparently the author is still alive. Time for a third edition? (and I have yet to watch the video)
Edit: Revised edition still has the original author.

I'm totally with you that an entirely new book, post-Arab Spring, is in order, though -- perhaps one half devoted to how to overthrow a government, the other half on how to ruthlessly suppress dissent.
