The book consists of Curzio Malaparte's reflections on modern coups. The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia (1917), the Kapp Putsch in Germany (1920), Benito Mussolini's March on Rome (1922), Miguel Primo de Rivera's rise to power in Spain (1923), Napoleon Bonaparte as the inventor of the modern coup d'état, and the possibility of Adolf Hitler coming to power in Germany.

"The Technique of the Coup d'état" was written in 1931 in Paris after Malaparte had fallen out with the Italian Fascist Party. It was first published in French and caused much controversy. The author was accused of cynicism and hypocrisy, which resulted in Malaparte being imprisoned in Italy with the following sentence: dissemination of anti-fascist propaganda abroad.
