Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive—this multi-million-copy bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control. From the master strategist Robert Greene, author of The Laws of Human Nature, comes the book that People magazine proclaimed "beguiling" and "fascinating."

The 48 Laws Distilled from 3,000 Years of History: Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz—and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.

Every law has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
