The Prince, Paperback / softback Book

The Prince Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Laid out in this book is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power.

Astonishing in its candor, The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king or a president.

When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic.

In The Prince he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion.

Today, this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government, and is the ultimate book on power politics.
