THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW IN A CONCISE EDITION’If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need’ The TimesAmoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils 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 in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers.Some laws require prudence , some stealth, and some the total absence of mercy, but all have applications in real-life situations.Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissenger, P T Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded – or been victimised by – power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing or defending against ultimate control.
