Machiavelli's highly influential treatise on political power 'It is
far safer to be feared than loved...' The Prince shocked Europe on
publication with its advocacy of ruthless tactics for gaining
absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality.
Niccolo Machiavelli drew on his own experience of office under the
turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of
political theory and recognising the complicated, transient nature
of political life. Machiavelli made his name notorious for
centuries with The Prince, his clever and cynical work about power
relationships. The key themes of this influential, and ever timely,
writer are that adaptability is the key to success and that
effective leadership is sometimes only possible at the expense of
moral standards. 'Everyone should have a copy of Machiavelli's The
Prince, whose original purpose may have been to counsel Renaissance
rulers in the art of statecraft but is still applicable to and,
indeed, acted on by modern politicians and power-brokers' Guardian
