Summary
Summary
Leadership is a life-changing, three-book collection of abridged classics designed to guide you towards success in all areas of your life.
Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince is history's greatest guide to attaining and keeping power; Ralph Waldo Emerson's Power has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it; and it may be said that no greater work on the subject of military theory exists than Sun Tzu's The Art of War.
Abridged and introduced by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz, these exquisitely brief and faithful condensations on leadership will mark a true turning point in your life and career.

Niccolò Machiavelli was born in Florence in 1469. In 1498 he received an appointment to the chancellery of the Florentine Republic, serving as both an administrator and a diplomat. He was associated with political leaders throughout Italy, most significantly, Cesare Borgia, presumably the model for The Prince.
Author Bio: Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu lived in China in the sixth and fifth centuries BC, serving as a general and strategist to the king of Wu. A philosopher and writer, his military stratagems, written over 2,500 years ago, are still pertinent today.
