straightforward logic, Machiavelli''s guide still has the power to
surprise and inform anyone hoping to make their way in the
world.
This keepsake edition includes an introduction by Tom
Butler-Bowdon, drawing out lessons for managers and business
leaders, and showing how The Prince remains vital
reading for anyone in the realm of business or politics.
