Power grab (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

putsch

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">power grab</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for putsch that I've seen before include "Revolutionary uprising" , "Sudden illegal acquisition of power" , "Violent attempt to overthrow a government" , "Violent attempt to seize power" , "A sudden political uprising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
