An account of the political crisis that shook Sri Lanka in 2022, when a democratically elected President was removed through coordinated conspiracies and civil unrest backed by foreign powers and domestic actors. Drawing on decades of democratic stability and constitutional governance since independence in 1948, this narrative examines how foreign intervention intensified following the 2009 end of the civil war, employing economic disruption and communal division as tools of neocolonial control. Told from the perspective of one at the center of the upheaval, the book documents a pivotal moment that challenged Sri Lanka's established traditions of peaceful political transition.
