Lynch’s fluid translation helps readers appreciate anew Machiavelli’s brilliant treatments of the relationships between war and politics, civilians and the military, and technology and tactics. Machiavelli scholar Christopher Lynch offers a sensitive and entirely new translation of the Art of War, faithful to the original but rendered in modern, idiomatic English. Praised by the finest military minds in history and said to have influenced no lesser lights than Frederick the Great and Napoleon, the Art of War is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history and theory of war in the West-and for readers of The Prince and Discourse on Livy who seek to explore more fully the connection between war and politics in Machiavelli’s thought. Niccolò Machiavelli’s Art of War is one of the world’s great classics of military and political theory.
