This treatise is one of only a few works of Machiavelli that was published during his lifetime and the only historical and political one. It is considered by many to be his most important work. Machiavelli wrote Dell'arte de la Guerra as an enchiridion of historical, political and scholarly advice for the Princes regarding their perspective on war and how it can be used as a political tool. The purpose of this book is To honor and reward virtu, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good. -Niccolo Machiavelli| SKU | Unavailable |
