10 Second Review
The back cover describes this book as "Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive…distills three thousand years of the history of power into 48 well explicated laws."

In other words, what would Napoleon do? Or Ghandi. Or anyone else that was successful in manipulating power.

There are two good reasons to read this book.
Find out how to play the power game.
Find out how you're being played.

NotesSome of the historical stories have questionable accuracy.

Learning Curve
Moderate: Read this book like reference material not a novel.
