Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This special edition of "The Art of War" by Machiavelli & "The
Prince" by Machiavelli unites both of Machiavelli 's renowned
volumes on strategy so that the philosophy and mechanisms for
obtaining power and managing power may be seen as a single entity.
Possessed of a great intellect, Niccolo Machiavelli was uniquely
suited to examine and explain the important details of statecraft.
Machiavelli, like Plato, Pythagoras and Confucius two hundred odd
decades before him, saw only one method by which a thinking man,
himself not powerful, might do the work of state building, and that
was by seizing the imagination of a Prince. With these writings, he
has influenced the history of the world.
Machiavelli has so influenced human civilization that the very
term: Machiavellian, has come to mean that which is characterized
by expediency, deceit, and cunning. A prime example is his advice:
"A wise prince, when he has the opportunity, ought with craft to
foster some animosity against himself, so that, having crushed it,
his renown may rise higher." His advice, on this and other
suggested intrigues, has been heeded by various heads of state for
over four hundred years.
Other special edition books in this series dealing with the subject
of warfare and strategy include:
The Art of War By Sun Tzu - Special Edition
The Art of War By Mao Tse-tung - Special Edition
The Art of War By Baron De Jomini - Special Edition
