Refreshing in its directness, yet often disturbing in its cold practicality, 'The prince' sets down a frighteningly pragmatic formula for political fortune. Starkly relevant to the political upheavals for the 20th century, this calculating prescription for power remains today, nearly 500 years after it was written, a timely and startling lessons in the practice of autocratic rule that continues to be much read and studied by students, scholars and general reader as well.

Niccolo Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469 in Florence, Italy. He was a political philosopher, statesman, and court advisor. Starting out as a clerk, he quickly rose in the ranks because he understood balance of power issues involved in many of his diplomatic missions. His political pursuits quickly ended after he was imprisoned by the Medici family. He is best known for The Prince, his guide to power attainment and cutthroat leadership. He also wrote poetry and plays, including a comedy named Mandragola. He died on June 21, 1527 at the age of 58.
