The Prince: Advice to rulers on new ways of exercising and maintaining power today

CONTEXTUALIZING A GREAT CLASSIC TO THE REALITY OF THE 21ST CENTURY In 1513, Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince, a book that marked the beginning of modern political science. Five centuries later, Percy Kemp renews Machiavelli's thinking, offering rulers advice on new ways to exercise and maintain power today. The author raises a bold hypothesis: today, the Prince's strength is determined by his control of everyday situations, and his main challenge is accelerated time. • Successfully launched in France, Portugal, and the United States • Percy Kemp holds a PhD in Islamic Studies and Oriental Studies and has worked on security and intelligence issues in the Middle East since 1986
