Cemal Madanoğlu was among the leaders of the 1960 Turkish coup d'état.[3] he was asked to lead the coup by his subordinates due to fact he was the only General that was willing take lead he said: "Making a revolution requires balls, I have that." During the coup he was asked by Army general Ragıp Gümüşpala on telephone that is he the most senior among the putschists, Ragıp Gümüşpala said he would put down the putsch if there is no one that outranks himself. Madanoğlu bluffed that General Cemal Gürsel was their leader and he was on a flight to Ankara from İzmir[4] Before the coup he made every subordinate to swore an oath not to take part in ministrial office.[5] but during a meeting with Cemal Gürsel he noticed same subordinates were trying to put together a government that included themselves according to Madanoğlu he slapped the table and said: You jackals! Which of you understands finance, which of you understands trade, which of you understands economy, we are in this position because Menderes did the same.[6]

after the coup he released Democrat Party deputies and he brought together Academicians from Istanbul University to provide the Junta with a roadmap back in to democracy but was advised by Professor Sıddık Sami Onar that they should not give power back to the parliament instead they should put Adnan Menderes and deputies of Democrat Party on trial and enact structural reforms.[7] Former President İsmet İnönü told him even if they are guilty there should be no execution. people would forget their crimes but would remember that they were hanged.[7] after a series of infighting in the military he resigned.

In retirement Lieutenant general Madanoğlu was involved in a coup plot that would complete what 1960 Turkish coup d'état could not finished in means of reforms. This plan foiled when National Intelligence Organization bugged his meetings.[8] General Faruk Gürler feared that his fellow plotters were more left-leaning than he assumed. This coup plot caused 1971 Turkish military memorandum. Madanoğlu was a prominent figure in left-wing politics.[9]
