THE 48 LAWS OF POWER

The bestselling book for anyone with an interest in conquest, self- defence, wealth, power or simply being an educated spectator...

Amoral, ruthless, cunning and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power their unvarnished essence, synthesising the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz and other great thinkers.

Some laws require prudence (Law 1: Never Outshine the Master), some stealth (Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions), and some the total absence of mercy (Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally) but like it or not, all have applications in real life situtations. 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.

The perfect book for the power hungry (and who doesn't want power?), The 48 Laws of Power is one of the most useful and entertaining books ever.
