L’art de la guerre (The Art of War) by Machiavelli - DZ Classics collection (Niccolò Machiavelli)

“L’Art de la guerre” (The Art of War) by Niccolò Machiavelli, often overshadowed by “The Prince”, is a bold manifesto for sovereignty, in this new edition from the DZ Classics collection.

The most lucid observer of the Renaissance denounces the illusions of his time, exposes the ineffectiveness of mercenaries and argues for “one’s own arms”: an army of devoted citizens, in his view the only guarantee of a state’s freedom.

Machiavelli dissects the discipline, training and psychology of the soldier, offering a pragmatic framework for reading today’s conflicts, whether military or political.
