The new Machiavelli : how to wield power in the modern world
Powell, Jonathan, 1956-2011
Book
Niccolo Machiavelli is misunderstood, argues Jonathan Powell in his 21st-century reworking of the Italian philosopher's influential masterpiece, 'The Prince'. Taking the lessons Machiavelli derived from his experience as an official in 15th-century Florence, Powell shows how these lessons can still apply today.
