48 Laws Of Power By Robert Greene

Publisher:   Penguin Group US, 2000   ISBN  1101042451,  9781101042458

The book, an international bestseller, is a practical guide for anyone who wants power, observes power, or wants to arm himself against power

Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), the virtue of stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and many demand the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real life. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded--or been victimized by--power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.
