Machiavelli's The Art of War by Niccol Machiavelli

Machiavelli's The Art of War by Niccol Machiavelli

Voltaire said, Machiavelli taught Europe the art of war; it had long been practiced, without being known. For Machiavelli, victory was the supreme aim to which all other considerations must be subordinated. The Art of War is far from an anachronism--its pages outline fundamental questions that theorists of war continue to examine today, making it essential reading for any student of military history or strategy. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

Niccolo Machiavelli was born in Florence. Throughout his life, he was a diplomat, politician, historian, and writer. Machiavelli served the Florentine republic as secretary and second chancellor from 1498 to 1512 while the Medici family was out of power. His most famous work, The Prince, was a written attempt to re-ingratiate himself with the Medicis when they returned to power.

Christopher Celenza is the author or editor of seven books and more than forty scholarly articles or book chapters in the fields of Italian Renaissance history, post-classical Latin literature, and philosophy. His most recent book, Machiavelli: A Portrait, was published by Harvard University Press in 2015.
