The Prince Machiavelli Niccol (2012)

Considered one of the first works of modern philosophy, Niccol Machiavellis The Prince is an intense study of the nature of power and the course it should take when ruling a country. It expresses the authors strong and uncompromising belief that force, rather than law, may be used to achieve ones aims. The work is responsible for the widely used term Machiavellian, with all its negative connotations, and remains a classic text to this day.
