The Prince And Other Writings by W. K. Machiavelli Niccolo; Marriott
A compact collection of political essays and discourses offering pragmatic, often unsentimental advice on acquiring and holding power, arguing that rulers must be shrewd, adaptable, and willing to put the stability of the state above conventional morality; it analyzes human nature, the roles of fortune and skill, the necessity of military strength and public reputation, and contrasts principled republican ideals with the ruthless realities of governance.
