{"product_id":"the-art-of-war-niccolo-machiavelli-9781604593617","title":"The Art of War \u0026 the Prince","description":"Collected here in one omnibus edition are Niccol  Machiavelli's most import works, The Art of War and The Prince. It was Niccol  Machiavelli who essentially removed ethics from government. He did it with The Prince, when he asserted that The Prince (president, dictator, prime minister, etc.) does not have to be concerned with ethics, as long as their motivation is to protect the state. It is this questionable belief that in many ways had lead to the modern world as we know it. His assertion was that the head of state must protect the state no matter the cost and no matter what rules he or she breaks in the process. If you want to understand modern politics you must read this book. Machiavelli considered The Art of War his greatest achievement. Here you will learn how to recruit, train, motivate, and discipline an army. You will learn the difference between strategy and tactics. Machiavelli does a masterful job of breaking down and analyzing historic battles. This book of military knowledge belongs alongside Sun-Tzu and Clausewitz on every book shelf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niccolo Machiavelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160459361X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604593617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilder Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Niccolo Machiavelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129541718271,"sku":"9781604593617","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bee0d45a-479b-40eb-8d07-2e28da9082a9.jpg?v=1687464476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-war-niccolo-machiavelli-9781604593617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
