Machiavelli is one of the most famous strategists of all time. In this collection he
discusses the dangers of conspiracies, and the component parts of an army, vital for
gaining and holding power in his day. He also gives advice on tactics and discipline, and
explains why promises made under force ought not to be kept.
GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have
transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent,
war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have
enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great
thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped
make us who we are.
Niccolo Machiavelli was born in Florence in 1469 of an old citizen
family. In 1498 he was appointed secretary and a second chancellor to the Florentine
Republic. During his time of office he accompanied Julius II on his first campaign of
conquest. In 1507, as chancellor of the newly appointed Nove di Milizia, he
organised an infantry force which fought at the capture of Pisa in 1509. Three years later
it was defeated by the Holy League at Prato, the Medici returned to Florence, and
Machiavelli was excluded from public life. He retired to his farm near San Casciano, where
he gave his time to study and writing. After a brief return to public life, he died in
1527.
