"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.")
Introduction by Dominic Baker-Smith; Translation by W. K. Marriott
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
