Description:

Voltaire said, "Machiavelli taught Europe the art of war; it had long been practiced, without being known." For Machiavelli, victory was the supreme aim to which all other considerations must be subordinated. The Art of War is far from an anachronism--its pages outline fundamental questions that theorists of war continue to examine today, making it essential reading for any student of military history or strategy. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

Author bio:

Political philosopher, statesman and court advisor Niccolo Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469 in Florence, Italy. Starting out as a clerk, Machiavelli quickly rose in the ranks because he understood balance of power issues involved in many of his diplomatic missions. Machiavelli's political pursuits quickly ended after he was imprisoned by the Medici family. Machiavelli is best known for "The Prince," his guide to power attainment and cutthroat leadership. He also wrote poetry and plays, including a comedy named "Mandragola." Niccolo Machiavelli died on June 21, 1527 in Florence.
