Niccolò Machiavelli''s Art of War is one of the world''s great classics of military and political theory. Praised by the finest military minds in history and said to have influenced no lesser lights than Frederick the Great and Napoleon, the Art of War is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history and theory of war in the West-and for readers of The Prince and Discourse on Livy who seek to explore more fully the connection between war and politics in Machiavelli''s thought. Machiavelli scholar Christopher Lynch offers a sensitive and entirely new translation of the Art of War, faithful to the original but rendered in modern, idiomatic English. Lynch''s fluid translation helps readers appreciate anew Machiavelli''s brilliant treatments of the relationships between war and politics, civilians and the military, and technology and tactics. Clearly laying out the fundamentals of military organization and strategy, Machiavelli marshals a veritable armory of precepts, prescriptions, and examples about such topics as how to motivate your soldiers and demoralize the enemy''s, avoid ambushes, and gain the tactical and strategic advantage in countless circumstances. To help readers better appreciate the Art of War, Lynch provides an insightful introduction that covers its historical and political context, sources, influence, and contemporary relevance. He also includes a substantial interpretive essay discussing the military, political, and philosophical aspects of the work, as well as maps, an index of names, and a glossary.

Cultural Enrichment
I'm so happy i got my hands on this beautifully leatherbound piece of eastern history. This book looks stunning with its black leather cover and golden edge. I'm actually rather surprised by the low price of this tome. The contents of this work are very impressive as well, as they are very informative yet easy to read and process. I usually struggle more while reading nonfiction historical books in longer sittings but this one really pulled me in. The author didnt just put pieces of chinese (and generally asian) history/philosophy in a chronological order but did it in a way to give the different excerpts a cultural context. This doesnt just help us understanding the contents on their own, but makes us see the cultural relevance even to this day. Seriously a must-read for fans of Asian Culture and fans of philosophy in general.
