The 48 Laws of Power

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

The authors claim that a ruthless game of power has been played throughout history, and in this book, they intend to present the laws that govern it.

It aims to be a practical guide for anyone who wants power, watches power or wants to arm themselves against power.

The book synthesizes the philosophies of Machiavelli, Suntzu and Carl Von Clausewitz with the historical legacies of statesmen, warriors, seducers and con men throughout the ages.

Using the stories of such figures as Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger and P.T. Barnum, the laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures of those who have wielded or been victimized by power.
