Machiavelli is one of the most influential military and political thinkers of all time. The Art of War (1520) and The Prince (1532) are two of his most famous works and for many, the inauguration of modern military and political thought. Read together, they provide what could almost be considered a manual on the winning and retaining power in a world rife with political factionalism and power plays. Two wonderful works in one book.
