Description: For more than 400 years, "The Prince" has been the basic handbook of politics, statesmanship, and power. Witty, informative, and devilishly shrewd, it has long been required reading for anyone interested in politics and power. This edition features a new Introduction and Afterword. Revised reissue.
Review Quotes: "[Machiavelli] can still engage our attention with remarkable immediacy, and this cannot be explained solely by the appeal of his ironic observations on human behaviour. Perhaps the most important thing is the way he can compel us to reflect on our own priorities and the reasoning behind them; it is this intrusion into our own defenses that makes reading him an intriguing experience. As a scientific exponent of the political art Machiavelli may have had few followers; it is as a provocative rhetorician that he has had his real impact on history." -from the Introduction by Dominic Baker-Smith
