The phrase was coined by the North American writer O. Henry in his book, \u003ci\u003eCabbages and Kings\u003c\/i\u003e. It conveys the image of a nation plagued by military coup d'états... historically undeniable in the case of Honduras. The controversial overthrow of President Manuel Zelaya on June 28, 2009 represents a watershed in Honduran history. Was President Zelaya an innocent victim of the military and judicial systems, or did government officials act wisely in rescuing Honduras from a president intent on remaining in power indefinitely and dismantling the country's democratic institutions? Although it awakened memories of past coups, it is unclear whether this was a traditional or a \"hybrid coup\", featuring some elements of what the world tends to associate with coups, but lacking others. The collection of short essays in this book offers personal insights on these questions and on a wide range of events, themes, and philosophical struggles that defined the political crisis in Honduras. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMarco Cáceres di Iorio is the editor of the online newspaper \u003ci\u003eHonduras Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e.
