The 48 Laws of Power

Robert Greene synthesizes three thousand years of history, philosophy, and political maneuvering into a set of forty-eight unflinching rules for acquiring and protecting power. Each law is illustrated with stories of figures who mastered it and those who were destroyed by ignoring it, covering tactics for influence, perception, alliances, and self-presentation. Provocative and often amoral, the book functions equally as a strategic manual and as a guide to recognizing the power games being played around you.
