- What book has been around for 500
years, gives the reader guidelines for making war, and also keeping in
power? That would be Niccolò Machiavelli's masterpiece,
The Prince.
- This is information from the
publisher that I got off Barnes and Noble.com " For nearly 500
years, Machiavelli's observations on Realpolitik have shocked and
appalled the timid and romantic, and for many his name was equivalent
to the devil's own. Yet, The Prince was the first attempt to
write of the world of politics as it is, rather than sanctimoniously of
how it should be, and thus The Prince remains honest and relevant today
as when Machiavelli first put quill to parchment, and warned the junior
statesman to know how to do wrong, and to make use of it or not
according to necessity."
