It depends. If the book aids a coup against an extremely brutal dictatorship like North Korea it helps. If it's against a peaceful democracy it hurts, a lot more than the books I described. If it's against a moderately brutal dictatorship, and results in short term bloodshed, and maybe something better, maybe something worse long term, we can't tell until several years after the coop. If it aids coups in some countries, and helps preventing coups in other countries, it becomes extremely difficult to judge.

But I'm sure you can come up with examples of books which hurt a lot more than my examples. I'm not claiming these kinds of books hurt more than any other possible kind of books.
