The PrinceHere is the worlds most famous master plan for seizing and holding power.

Astonishing in its candor, The Prince even today remains 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; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion.

Today this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government and is the ultimate book on power politics.This Bantam Classic edition of The Prince includes selections from Machiavellis Discourses as well as an introduction and notes by the translator, Daniel Donno.
