Then and there, she decided she was going to be just like themand be the first girl to do it.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. [2], 251,[1] pages. Pencil notations throughout. Several pages soiled, Boards and spine worn. Several tears at spine and,spine discolored. The contents are: Bolshevik Coup d'etat and Trotsky's Tactics; A Coup d'etat that failed Trotsky vs. Stalin; 1920 Poland's Experience Order Reigns in Warsaw; Kapp or Mars vs. Marx; Bonaparte--On the First Modern Coup d'etat; Primo de Rivera and Pilsudski A courtier and a Socialist General; Mussolini; and A Would-be Dictator Hitler. In this very scarce work, Malaparte is the first writer to describe the modern coup d'etat. Curzio Malaparte (9 June 1898 - 19 July 1957), born Curt Erich Suckert, was an Italian writer, film-maker, war correspondent and diplomat. Malaparte is best known outside Italy due to his works Kaputt and La pelle. The former is a semi-fictionalized account of the Eastern Front during the Second World War and the latter is an account focusing on morality in the immediate post-war period of Naples. During the 1920s, Malaparte was one of the intellectuals who supported the rise of Italian fascism and Benito Mussolini, through the magazine 900. Despite this, Malaparte had a complex relationship with the National Fascist Party and was stripped of membership in 1933 for his independent streak. Arrested numerous times, he had Casa Malaparte created in Capri where he lived under house arrest. After the Second World War, he became a film maker and moved closer to both Togliatti's Italian Communist Party and the Catholic Church, reputedly becoming a member of both before his death. In Technique du coup d`Etat, Malaparte set out a study of the tactics of coup d'etat, particularly focusing on the Bolshevik Revolution and that of Italian fascism. Here he stated that "the problem of the conquest and defense of the State is not a political one . it is a technical problem", a way of knowing when and how to occupy the vital state resources: the telephone exchanges, the water reserves and the electricity generators, etc. He taught a hard lesson that a revolution can wear itself out in strategy. He emphasizes Leon Trotsky's role in organizing the October Revolution technically, while Lenin was more interested in strategy. The book emphasizes that Joseph Stalin thoroughly comprehended the technical aspects employed by Trotsky and so was able to avert Left Opposition coup attempts better than Kerensky. For Malaparte, Mussolini's revolutionary outlook was very much born of his time as a Marxist. On the topic of Adolf Hitler, the book was far more doubtful and critical. He considered Hitler to be a reactionary. In the same book, first published in French by Grasset, he entitled chapter VIII: A Woman: Hitler. This led to Malaparte being stripped of his National Fascist Party membership and sent to internal exile from 1933 to 1938 on the island of Lipari. In 1931, Italian journalist and political writer, Curzio Malaparte, published a book in Italy entitled TECHNIQUE DU COUP D'ÊTAT. This work was based on his own personal observation of the activities in Russia at the time of the Revolution, Poland at the time of the Bolshevik invasion of 1920 and Berlin during the Kapp putsch. Malaparte was an early supporter of Mussolini and had first-hand knowledge of the means by which Il Duce had come to power in 1922. His observations into the means by which power is acquired are acute and accurate. Malaparte's work studied the successful, and unsuccessful, coups d'Etat or seizure of power and his work was both seminal and topical for a European audience of the 1930s. However, when this book was translated into English and released in America in 1932, it appeared at the most serious time of the worldwide depression when millions of angry Americans had been thrown out of work; seen their life savings vanish, reduced to humiliating poverty and unable to provide for their families. Malaparte's book, showing the relative ease with which a modern nation could be conquered by a handful of determined men, was not w.…
