1. The Prince (Unabridged)
Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power.
Astonishing in its candor, The Prince is a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on
what it takes to be a prince, a king, a president. When, in 1512, Machiavelli was
removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on
leadership that was practical, not idealistic. The prince he envisioned would be
unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values. Through the years, The Prince
has been misunderstood to the extent that Machiavelli's name has become
synonymous with unscrupulous political behavior. However, it remains essential
reading as the ultimate book on power politics. Included are selections from
Machiavelli's Discourses upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy.
