I'm just going to leave this here.
It's a pretty interesting book, I was working on a fantasy book that involves a coup and got it for research.
Need to include the manual in the list: https://www.amazon.com/Coup-dÉtat-Practical-Handbook-Revised/dp/0674737261
The most prominent book on the subject - ['Coup D'Etat] (https://www.amazon.com/Coup-d%C3%89tat-Practical-Handbook-Revised/dp/0674737261/ref=pd_sim_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M9AWGX6YMAYW08JSEXT8) by Luttwak states that coup leaders need to have the support of mid-level military leaders and control over units nearest to the nexus of power ie Washington DC.
So, unless the coup leaders are able to subvert the loyalty of serious elements of the US military (which is difficult as it is a conservative, volunteer organisation), their coup will fail.
While it was written in 1968, Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook is easily convertible to a fantasy milieu. it's the strategy and tactics you want.
