THE NEW MACHIAVELLI: HOW TO WIELD POWER IN THE MODERN WORLD PB B FORMAT

The New Machiavelli is a gripping account of life inside the bunker of Number 10. In his twenty-first century reworking of Niccolo Machiavellis influential masterpiece, The Prince, Jonathan Powell - Tony Blairs Chief of Staff from 1994 - 2007 - recounts the inside story of that period, drawing on his own unpublished diaries. Taking the lessons of Machiavelli derived from his experience as an official in fifteenth-century Florence, Powell shows how these lessons can still apply today. Illustrating each of Machiavellis maxims with a description of events that occurred during Tony Blairs time as Prime Minister, The New Machiavelli is designed to be The Prince for modern times.
