Niccol� 2 Machiavelli's" Art of War is one of the world's great classics of military and political theory.

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. 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.

To help readers better appreciate the "Art of War, Lynch provides an insightful introduction that covers its historical and political context, sources, influence, and contemporary relevance.
