THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW IN A CONCISE EDITION
'If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need' The Times
Amoral, 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 , some stealth, and some the total absence of mercy, but 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.
Rezensionen
If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need
An heir to Machiavelli'
Entertaining ... Rambo-inspired mentality oozes from every khaki-ed, muscle-bound phrase
Beguiling . . . literate . . . fascinating. A wry primer for people who desperately want to be on top
Satisfyingly dense and... literary, with fantastic examples of genius power-game players
Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene . . . has put together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust
