Description: Very Good. 8vo-over 7"-9" tall. Trade paperback. Light wear at corners, light scuffing to covers. Introduction by Neal Wood. 247pp. index. The Art of War is the onlyone of Machiavelli's major works to be published during his lifetime, and the one which he doubtless believed to be his most important. In it, Machiavelli made liberal use of the theories of the Romans while advancing the revolutionary idea that politics and war constitute a kind of functional unity. read more
"His writings are considered immoral, he teaches you to be appear to be meek as a lamb but deadly as a lion. How to conquer, how to placate, the importance of perception and how it is better to be feared than loved."
"Ah, yes, I think of this book whenever someone says, "The end justifies the means." A great book on life, love, and war, but not a great philosophy to follow if you are looking for peace."
"An interesting book, with some very interesting (though brief) discussions on Machiavelli and his lesser known writings and how they compare with his best known: 'The Prince'
I found this book, having never heard of it - but am glad I read it. It, like the Book of the Courtier, provides an interesting insight into the author's beliefs and biases. To me , the military information contained in it was secondary to the cultural context described during the discourses."
