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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niccolo Machiavelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934451614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934451618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilder Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e167222 \/ Prince\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Niccolo Machiavelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474280235263,"sku":"9781934451618","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a458e46d-f971-4ae6-8cc5-9595b073b8f5.jpg?v=1762315848","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-prince-niccolo-machiavelli-9781934451618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
