It would not surprise me if Cheney had a copy of the German version somewhere in his desk as Bush probably wouldn't understand a third of the amazing ideas put forth in this formerly banned book. Watching the news is like watching Machiavelli's Dialogue come to life. Listening to Democrats is like hearing ...             The Portable Machiavelli11 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli Penguin (Non-Classics), 1979 A Wonderful Book Here it is, Machiavelli's work in its sinister glory for all to behold. The truth of man's corruption and dishonesty is exposed for all the world to see. The wise Florentine is not to be blamed and scandalised for lifting the veil on the cesspool of politics, religion and royalty. No, he is to be congratulated for summarising the dastardly deeds committed by Popes, Princes, Kings and ...             2Pac Lives The Death of Makaveli / The Resurrection of Tupac Amaru (Volume 1)15 reviews Drah Cenedive Hard Evidence Research & Publishing, 2004 HAHAHA, I told you, Tupac is f@#kin living! I had Tupac Lives: Death Of Makaveli/Resurrection Of Tupac Amaru for almost 3 years now! 3 years, I've been keeping this book a secret from everybody! why? Because Tupac diserves to live in peace! Tupac has had a tough life, even when he was a musician! Tupac keeps getting decapitated from the media and I am getting sick of it! Tupac is a very spiritual guy, and probably has learned a lot more ...             MANAGEMENT & MACHIAVELLI : A Prescription for Success in Your Business4 reviews Antony Jay Prentice Hall Press, 1996 Insightful, Pragmatic, and Empowering. As a middle manager in a small company, I found this to be one of the most helpful works on corporate behavior. Jay pulls analogies from history to illuminate the dynamics present in most all policital systems. I quickly recognized the "yogi's, commissars, and barons" in my present and past companies. Do not be put off by the reference to Machiavelli in the title. This is not an exegesis of ...             The Prince and The Discourses4 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1950 An essential tome on gaining and wielding political power. "The authentic interpreter of Machiavelli," wrote Lord Acton, "is the whole of later history." Thus, Bill Clinton to his peril, ignored Machiavelli's advice: "Men have less scruple in offending one who makes himself loved than one who makes himself feared." Nearly 500 years ago, Machiavelli set out to teach the lessons of power. And his teachings remain as valid in our day as in his own. ...             The Prince (Penguin Great Ideas)5 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005 Exceptionally readable Whatever your preconceived notion of this book is, it will be difficult to come away from it without a respect for the author's thoroughness and insight. The common disparagements against Machiavelli are not well supported by the text unless you are willing to nitpick his arguments. The book is a treatise on how a ruler should gain, manage, and preserve power. He describes the various types of ...             Machiavelli4 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2007 A rigorous examination of Machiavelli's "numerous antinomies" This is one of several volumes in the HarperCollins Eminent Lives series. Each offers a concise rather than comprehensive, much less definitive biography. However, just as Al Hirschfeld's illustrations of various celebrities capture their defining physical characteristics, the authors of books in this series focus on the defining influences and developments during the lives and careers of their ...             Discourses12 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli bnpublishing.com, 2005 Father of Modern Political Philosophy Niccolo Machiavelli, (1469-1527), writes the greatest treatise on keeping a republic vibrant by comparing Rome to republican Venice. Machiavelli has gained an unwarranted notorious reputation for his "evil" treatise on political thinking and acting through his authorship of "The Prince". "The Prince" received more notoriety than his politically erudite work "Discourses on the First Ten Books of ...             Thoughts on Machiavelli7 reviews Leo Strauss University Of Chicago Press, 1995 Wheels within wheels So, says Strauss, Machiavelli is evil? Is that so? What do we mean by this? Is this not all too comforting an answer to a question that Strauss hammers the complexity of throughout his book? The problem of this book is one esoteric writer writing about another. You sit there with Strauss on one knee and Machiavelli on the other as Strauss remorselessly "blows his cover." Machiavelli has ...             The MacHiavelli Interface4 reviews Steve Perry Orbit, 1990 An insightful, inspired continuation of the series For once, a "book three" as inspired as its predecessors. The Machiavelli Interface (TMI) continues the story from The Man Who Never Missed (TMWNM) and Matadora. Unlike a normal series, which introduces few new themes or devices, TMI gives us plenty of both. TMI is, like all of the books in the Matador series, inspiring and an enormously fun read. If you can find a copy, buy it, whatever ...             Chinese Machiavelli2 reviews Dennis Bloodworth, Ching Ping Secker & Warburg, 1976 An outstanding guide to Chinese history and politics I have read the original edition of this book many times. It contains short histories of pivotal events in Chinese history to illustrate particular doctrines of Chinese political or military philosophy, such as warring on those states nearby but allying with states far away. Not having seen this edition I do not know if it contains the original Wade-Giles transliterations of Chinese words and ...             Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius2 reviews Niccol¿ Machiavelli BiblioBazaar, 2007 Father of Modern Political Philosophy Niccolo Machiavelli, (1469-1527), writes the greatest treatise on keeping a republic vibrant by comparing Rome to republican Venice. Machiavelli has gained an unwarranted notorious reputation for his "evil" treatise on political thinking and acting through his authorship of "The Prince". "The Prince" received more notoriety than his politically erudite work "Discourses on the First Ten Books of ...             The Prince and Other Writings (Barnes & Noble Classics)4 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003 Great Hardcover of a Classic There's not much to say. It's a great hardcover edition of a must-read for just about everyone out there. In terms of philosophical importance, the examination of this book must be included in your curriculum (be it personal or via formal education).             The Prince (Modern Library Classics)3 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli Modern Library, 2008 A guide to gaining and maintaining power This book was written by the famous Italian statesman Niccolo Machiavelli in 1531. This book is a classic and I was pleasantly surprised that the content was not dated and the principles translate easily into the modern worlds of business and politics. The author wrote this book as an instruction guide for governing princes in the 1500's when Italy was divided into city states and were being ...             The Prince3 reviews Oxford University Press, USA, 2005 Wonderful edition I won't expound the joys of reading Machiavelli since many other reviewers have done so. Peter Bondanella's translation is wonderfully readable, capturing both the cadence and elegant simplicity of Machiavelli. While his translation of 'The Prince' can be found in the previous Oxford edition (with Mark Musa) and in the Viking Portable Machiavelli, the introduction by Maurizio Viroli is a pleasant ...             The Prince3 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli El Paso Norte Press, 2006 Extraordinary Perspective - One for the Ages Machiavelli was a prohpet - of sorts. He saw clearly that political power could not survive in incompetence hands for very long. Power abhors a vacuum, particulary when it is between the ears of the person holding power. So he set about writing this little book of instruction to educate his Prince. It was not that Machiavelli was immoral. Rather he was more concerned with the poor ...             Benigna Machiavelli2 reviews Charlotte Perkins Gilman Bandanna Books, 1994 To hell with dusty "women's studies collections." WHAT!? "Appropriate for academic and women's studies collections" sounds like the kiss of death for a literary work, and that should not happen to Benigna Machiavelli. This utterly delightful work was passed to me by a (male) friend and, well, ok, I confess it sat on my shelf for months while I continued with my usual fare of crime, warfare, and science fiction. Then one day it was raining too ...             Management and Machiavelli3 reviews Antony Jay Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1967 A classic Bought this book in 1967. Have referred to it often over the last thirty years. It's a keeper.             Machiavelli's The Republican3 reviews Nelson A. Blue Chapel Hill Press, 2000 An Eye Opener for the Critical Citizen Machiavelli's Republican should prove to be an eye opener for any critical citizen. It is an excellent vehicle for stating what many of us have already intuited for years. I would recommend it highly to anyone who is serious about wading through the manufactured morass of "PoliSpeak and PoliDo" that is modern American politics. Dr. Blue's, through the personna of Machiavelli, depicts the ...             The Greening of Machiavelli : The Evolution of International Environmental Politics2 reviews Tony Brenton Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1994 Thoroughly comprehensive With seven years of experience dealing with environmental affairs for the UK Foreign Commonwealth Office and having served as a British delegate in the largest environmental conference of all time, the Rio Earth Summit, Tony Brenton attempts to tell the story of environmentalism. Mr. Brenton defines his environmental view as a `light green', making him a modern environmentalist.
