Samenvatting

This book explores the unique relationship between covert action and leader survival. Specifically, how leadership styles and personality traits influence this relationship. The life of a ruler is ephemeral.

For those who are lucky, their exit from office is through retirement or old age. For most, their tenure is short, often ending through violent means. The overthrow of rulers by their rivals is a common theme throughout world history, and the strategy remains a popular choice in contemporary warfare.

However, despite the frequency of regime change, very little is discussed in international relations about covert regime change and its effects on leader survival.
