I can see why people use this book as the basic of how to be a leader; the book is about ‘how to get power and keep it’. The Prince is one of the first books about modern politics; and I feel like it’s almost ‘The Art of War’ of politics. I really enjoy this book, while a lot of the book is logical, it does give you a lot to ponder and digest. I think this book has been the blueprint of modern politics.
