In the early 16th century, a young Italian patriot sat nightly in his study, reading and writing with a missionary fervor. The wisdom of the ancients and his pen soothed the persistent mental torture he felt while watching his precious Italia ravaged by foreign armies and domestic discord. His name was Niccolo Machiavelli. The product of those nights, "The Prince," is the indispensable guide for anyone interested in gaining and holding power.
