Description
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli is a treatise on leadership that has become essential reading for students of government. Written in 1512, this small sixteenth-century masterpiece offers a practical approach to power politics, unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values. Machiavelli's vision was to create a work that would be useful to those seeking to seize and hold power, whether as a prince, king or president. The result is a candid and realistic exploration of what it takes to succeed in these roles. Today, this book remains a disturbingly relevant and thought-provoking work on the nature of power and leadership.
