Written by Robert Greene and produced and designed by Joost Elffers, the renowned packager of \"The Secret Language of Birthdays,\" \"The 48 Laws of Power\" will be known as the essential--and controversial--guide to modern manipulation. In a bold and elegant two-color package, \"The 48 Laws of Power\" synthesizes the philosophies of Machiavelli, Suntzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz, with the historical legacies of statesmen, warriors, seducers, and con men throughout the ages. Using the stories of such figures as Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, and P. T. Barnum, the Laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs, and failures of those who have wielded-- and those who have been victimized by--Power. At work, in relationships, on the street, or on the five o'clock news, these Laws are exerted everywhere. Whether your interest is conquest, self-defense, or simply being an educated spectator, \"The 48 Laws of Power\" will be the most important book you buy this year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAmoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Barnum. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome laws teach the need for prudence (\"Law 1: Never Outshine the Master\"), others teach the value of confidence (\"Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness\"), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (\"Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally\").
