Capture: Unyielding ideals on power
The Prince is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of power and ruling. Machiavelli's unyielding ideals on the use of force over law, while controversial, provide insight into the ways leaders can achieve their aims. The author's extreme treatise remains a classic text to this day, and is responsible for the widely-used phrase 'Machiavellian'.

'We have declared before that it is not only expedient but necessary for a prince to take care his foundations be good, otherwise his fabric will be sure to fail.'
