Nadeem Al-Bitar's 'The Coup Ideology: History as Ideological Cycles' offers a profound examination of the recurring patterns of revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements throughout history. Al-Bitar argues that ideological shifts are not random but follow discernible cycles, deeply influencing political transformations and the rise and fall of regimes. This book delves into the underlying philosophical and psychological drivers of coup d'état, exploring how ideologies shape and are shaped by historical events. It provides a critical framework for understanding the interplay between thought systems and power dynamics, making it essential reading for scholars of political science, history, and sociology seeking to grasp the cyclical nature of ideological conflict and its impact on societal evolution.
