Penguin strikes again with a wonderful new series called "Great Ideas" featuring 12 books by great thinkers dating back to the first millennium B.C.E. through the mid-20th century, covering art, politics, literature, philosophy, science, history, and more. Each slim paperback is individually designed, and all are affordable at $8.95. A great idea indeed. Snap 'em up! Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
"[Machiavelli] can still engage our attention with remarkable immediacy, and this cannot be explained solely by the appeal of his ironic observations on human behaviour. Perhaps the most important thing is the way he can compel us to reflect on our own priorities and the reasoning behind them; it is this intrusion into our own defenses that makes reading him an intriguing experience. As a scientific exponent of the political art Machiavelli may have had few followers; it is as a provocative rhetorician that he has had his real impact on history." -from the Introduction by Dominic Baker-Smith

Every wanted to know how to best rule over a conquered people? Well if you were planning an invasion, this is the handbook for you. Machiavelli writes, without regard to morality, on how to best subdue conquered nations and keep them under control. It is a classic book, and something that all people should read and understand, so that they can themselves see how rulers try to control people. As they say, those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This book is a great document on how conquerers in history have arisen and maintained control over people. Read this, and understand it!
