Drawing on three thousand years of the history of power — Machiavelli and Sun Tzu, courtiers and diplomats, con artists and generals — Greene sets out forty-eight tactics by which influence has historically been won, held and lost, each illustrated from the historical record and set against its own reversal.
It is included here as a study of how power actually operates rather than how it is said to operate — a companion to The Prince and The Art of War.
A review of this book is coming soon.
