About this ebook

THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
'Sun Tzu better watch his back' New York Magazine
'If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need' The Times
'At last, the book to help you scheme your way into the upper echelons of power' Daily Express

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers.

Some laws require prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and some the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations.

Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissenger, P T Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded - or been victimised by - power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing or defending against ultimate control.

Interesting read if you keep tongue firmly planted in cheek. Lots of "laws" directly contradict one another so don't expect a coherent system (for example, "court attention at all cost" but also "think as you like but behave like others") and "In victory, learn when to stop" but also "crush your enemies totally"). Employing the 48 laws in a modern corporate environment will see your being quietly exited at the next tranche of redundancies.
