简介：　　Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor, The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work'on what it takes to be a prince... a king...a president. When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence; he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not ideaiistic. Theprince he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion. Today this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government and is the ultimate book on power politics.
