With notes and an apparatus, a new translation of Hegel's essay
"Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Italy," and the first pages of "The
Prince" in the original Italian
At the end of an industrious political career in conflict-riven
Italy, the Florentine diplomat Niccolo Machiavelli composed his
masterpiece "The Prince," a classic study of power and politics,
and a manual of ruthlessness for any ambitious ruler. Controversial
in his own time, the work made Machiavelli's name a byword for
manipulative scheming, and had an impact on such major figures as
Napoleon and Frederick the Great. It contains principles as true
today as when they were first written almost five centuries
ago.

figures as Napoleon, Frederick the Great, and Mussolini. This
edition is accompanied by G. W. F. Hegel's commentary on
Machiavelli in his "Constitution of Germany."

"Those who strive to obtain the good graces of a prince are
accustomed to come before him with such things as they hold most
precious, or in which they see him take most delight; whence one
often sees horses, arms, cloth of gold, precious stones, and
similar ornaments presented to princes, worthy of their greatness.
Desiring therefore to present myself to your Magnificence with some
testimony of my devotion towards you, I have not found among my
possessions anything which I hold more dear than, or value so much
as, the knowledge of the actions of great men, acquired by long
experience in contemporary affairs, and a continual study of
antiquity; which, having reflected upon it with great and prolonged
diligence, I now send, digested into a little volume, to your
Magnificence." (From the author's dedication to "To the Magnificent
Lorenzo Di Piero De' Medici.")
Niccolo Machiavelli considered this book his greatest achievement.
Here you will learn how to recruit, train, motivate, and discipline
an army. You will learn the difference between strategy and
tactics. Machiavelli does a masterful job of breaking down and
analyzing historic battles. This book of military knowledge belongs
alongside Sun-Tzu on every book shelf.
