by Kautilya Chanakya (Author), Niccolo Machiavelli (Author), Tim Zengerink (Translator)

What if power could be predicted, managed, and wielded with precision?

The Complete Strategy & War Collection (Vol. 5) brings together two of the most influential texts in the history of political and military thought. This volume reveals how ancient Indian and Renaissance European thinkers envisioned the role of leadership, deception, and discipline in shaping the fate of nations.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

The Arthashastra (Select Strategic Books) by Kautilya - A pragmatic and encyclopedic guide to ruling an empire, covering topics such as war strategy, internal security, diplomacy, economics, and intelligence operations
The Art of War by Niccolò Machiavelli - A dialogue-based exploration of citizen militias, military virtue, and the necessity of armed force to preserve liberty and political order
Realpolitik Before Realism - See how both thinkers develop concepts of power that predate and shape modern political theory
East Meets West - Gain perspective on how different civilizations arrived at similar strategic principles through entirely distinct traditions

This volume is indispensable for students of international relations, military history, and leadership. Read it to learn the methods of empire.

Reflect on it to avoid the fate of those who ruled without understanding strategy.

About Niccolo Machiavelli

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was a Florentine statesman who was later forced out of public life. He then devoted himself to studying and writing political philosophy, history, fiction, and drama. George Bull is an author and journalist who has translated six volumes for the Penguin Classics: Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography, The Book of the Courtier by Castiglione, Vasari's Lives of the Artists (two volumes), The Prince by Machiavelli and Pietro Aretino's Selected Letters. He is also Consultant Editor to the Penguin Business Series. After reading history at Brasenose College, Oxford, George Bull worked for the Financial Times, McGraw-Hill World News, and for the Director magazine, of which he was Editor-in-Chief until 1984. His other books include Vatican Politics; Bid for Power (with Anthony Vice), a history of take-over bids; Renaissance Italy, a book for children; Venice: The Most Triumphant City; and Inside the Vatican. Anthony Grafton teaches European intellectual history at Princeton University.
