Powerlessness is perhaps the most dreaded human condition. Greene
has distilled 3000 years of history on the subject to produce the
48 laws of power. Each is simple, ingenious and vital for strategic
planning. They range from the apparently humble ('never outshine
the master') to the sly ('use selective honesty') to the downright
ruthless ('crush your enemy totally'). Each law is supported and
illustrated by the words of wisdom and analysis of those who have
wielded or been subjected to power throughout history. Beautifully
designed, this is a must for anyone with an eye on the prize or
just on self-preservation. (Kirkus UK)
Drawn from 3,000 years of the history of power, this is the definitive guide to help readers achieve for themselves what Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, Louis XIV and Machiavelli learnt the hard way.
Law 1: Never outshine the master
Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies
Law 3: Conceal your intentions
Law 4: Always say less than necessary.
The text is bold and elegant, laid out in black and red throughout and replete with fables and unique word sculptures. The 48 laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures of great figures from the past who have wielded - or been victimised by - power.
