Based upon his own experiences witnessing \"the actions of great men\" and the often immoral aspects that come with power, Machiavelli encouraged ambition amongst leaders--which was a break from the philosophy of other contemporary thinkers. The Prince identifies the aims of powerful leaders, which can help to justify the use of largely immoral means in their methods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a new foreword by scholar Christopher Celenza, this essential work on politics contemplates leadership in a manner still relevant today. This lesson in autocratic rule will provide the reader with the author's rational approach to control and the contextualization for the term \"Machiavellian.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNiccolo Machiavelli\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Florence.
