Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this book distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. It outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. The 48 laws are illustrated via the tactics, triumphs, and failures of great figures from the past who have wielded power.
