THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'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 ("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 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.
