THE PRINCE
Here 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, 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. InThe 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.
