Can the aims of princes-such as glory and survival-justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends? Machiavelli provides a prince's instruction manual on how to obtain, and keep, power. "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." "Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are." This masterpiece classic by Nicolo Machiavelli is printed on high quality paper with a beautiful, durable cover.
