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.

Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 - June 21, 1527) was an Italian diplomat, political philosopher, musician, poet and playwright. He is most known for writing The Prince, Discourses on Livy, and the History of Florence - all commissioned by the Medici family. Machiavelli was born in Florence and in 1498, following the ouster and execution of Savonarola the Great Council elected Machiavelli as the Secretary to the second Chancery of the Republic of Florence. History of Florence and of the Affairs of Italy is an excellent reference work for historians.

With "The Prince," Machiavelli made his name synonymous with intrigue and cunning for all time. His instructions to the Prince, on achieving and maintaining power, by any and all means available, became the archetypical philosophy of The Ends Justify The Means.
Machiavelli advocated that political expediency supersedes morality and that success, by any means, is its own justification. His cold, calculating logic sweeps aside and dismisses all arguments against the use of every manner of deceit and dishonesty for a ruler to achieve his ends on the basis that those ends, once...

The classic political theory which created the field of political science. Machiavelli wrote the book years before anyone even considered politics a science worth studying. The book was not published until five years after his death. So powerful was the message in this book that the name Machiavellian entered into our collective vocabulary. "All states, all powers, that have held and hold rule over men have been and are either republics or principalities." Cover art created by Randy Dillon.
