Hence it is that all armed prophets have conquered, and the unarmed ones have been destroyed. by Nicolo Machiavelli
Written c. 1505
Translated by W. K. Marriott Dr. Rubel Shelly, leader of a modern Jubilee movement designed to change the old order and originate a new form of the church, appeals to Machiavelli to explain why change agents have less trouble taking over principalities and powers than in keeping them. CHAPTER VI Concerning New Principalities Which Are Acquired By One's Own Arms And Ability LET no one be surprised if, in speaking of entirely new principalities as I shall do, I adduce the highest examples both of prince and of state; because men, walking almost always in paths beaten by others, and following by imitation their deeds, are yet unable to keep entirely to the ways of others or attain to the power of those they imitate. A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men , and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savour of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach. "I say, therefore, that

The Prince - by Nicolo Machiavelli
This is a very, very interesting book. In the early 16th century, Machiavelli found himself without a job. He had been a bureaucrat, an advisor to politicians and rulers. In order to get a new job, he wrote The Prince , and dedicated it to Lorenzo the Magnificent, one of the Medicis. Instead, it guaranteed that he would never be employed again. Even though politicians and rulers may have followed Machiavelli's advice, none could afford to admit it, even today. The Prince shows the good, the bad, and the ugly of politics. And some of it is very ugly, Machiavellian in fact. Let me paraphrase some of his advice, from the 26 short chapters: 1. Various kinds of principalities - A short introduction to what follows. 2. Hereditary principalities - These are easier to maintain or regain. 3. Mixed principalities - This is a territory occupied by an outside prince. The prince's friends, who helped him to gain power, will soon be added to the list of his many enemies, and the territory may be lost. Losing it a second time is less likely, as there are now people to punish. We find that a new ruler is likely to succeed in a land accustomed to rulers, if the old line of rulers is destroyed. Also, if there is a great difference in language, laws, and customs, between the conquered and the conquerors, then the new ruler will have great difficulties. He says that men must be either treated well or destroyed, as they can get revenge for lesser injuries. Machiavelli recommends establishing colonies. Defend weaker neighbors, and weaken stronger ones. A person who causes another to become powerful is ruined.

The Prince Venotar's Introduction All right, those of you who have bothered to glance through our site containing 'The Art of War' (any BTech player who hopes to maintain a high level of competition should read and study it) have a feeling for the format that this site will follow. However, Machiavelli is much heavier reading than Sun Tzu, who – in keeping with the Chinese aesthetic of his time – paired his works down to their very essence. Nicolo felt no such compunctions, as those of you who aspire to tactical excellence are sure to find out. So, it will take me some time to enter the short section summaries in the table of contents (as it has been quite some time since I've read The Prince). Now, some of you will begin reading 'The Prince' and may wonder exactly how it applies to BTech tactics. After all, The Prince is basically an essay on the ideal way for an unscrupulous leader to rule a country. Politics. Nothing to do with BTech or tactics, right? Wrong. Machiavelli's work describes tactics as they apply to politics – it's really just a metaphor for the battlefield (or the boardroom, the game field, the classroom, and any other forum in which a proper tactical understanding is essential). Everything discussed in The Prince can be applied to the battlefield – simply look beyond the political trappings. Of course, anyone who couldn't figure this out for themselves may very well be a lost cause; but we can hope. Keep in mind that The Gutenberg Project went to some considerable rouble to provide this 'vanilla text', and all they ask is that people using the texts comply with their requests - so, if you intend to copy this file for any reason, please make a note to read the header attached to it.

by Nicolo Machiavelli
translated by W. K. Marriott
CHAPTER I
HOW MANY KINDS OF PRINCIPALITIES THERE ARE,
AND BY WHAT MEANS THEY ARE ACQUIRED ALL STATES, all powers, that have held and hold rule over men have been and are either republics or principalities. Principalities are either hereditary, in which the family has been long established; or they are new. The new are either entirely new, as was Milan to Francesco Sforza, or they are, as it were, members annexed to the hereditary state of the prince who has acquired them, as was the kingdom of Naples to that of the King of Spain. Such dominions thus acquired are either accustomed to live under a prince, or to live in freedom; and are acquired either by the arms of the prince himself, or of others, or else by fortune or by ability. CHAPTER II
CONCERNING HEREDITARY PRINCIPALITIES I WILL leave out all discussion on republics, inasmuch as in another place I have written of them at length, and will address myself only to principalities. In doing so I will keep to the order indicated above, and discuss how such principalities are to be ruled and preserved. I say at once there are fewer difficulties in holding hereditary states, and those long accustomed to the family of their prince, than new ones; for it is sufficient only not to transgress the customs of his ancestors, and to deal prudently with circumstances as they arise, for a prince of average powers to maintain himself in his state, unless he be deprived of it by some extraordinary and excessive force; and if he should be so deprived of it, whenever anything sinister happens to the usurper, he will regain it.

Desiring therefore to present myself to your Magnificence with some testimony of my devotion towards you, I have not found among my possessions anything which I hold more dear than, or value so much as, the knowledge of the actions of great men, acquired by long experience in contemporary affairs, and a continual study of antiquity; which, having reflected upon it with great and prolonged diligence, I now send, digested into a little volume, to your Magnificence.

His famous treatise, The Prince, stands apart from all other political writings of the period insofar as it focus on the practical problems a monarch faces in staying in power, rather than more speculative issues explaining the foundation of political authority. As such, it is an expression of realpolitik, that is, governmental policy based on retaining power rather than pursuing ideals.

Nicolo Machiavelli: Power for Good or Bad
1513 AD FLORENCE, ITALY
Until Nicolo Machiavelli, writers about politics had been concerned primarily about how government should work. Machiavelli was concerned about how it actually does work. For 14 years Machiavelli was a bureaucrat and diplomat for the city-state of Florence, in Italy. He organized Florence's militia and was sent on diplomatic missions throughout Italy and other parts of Europe. And at every opportunity he watched great men to see how they kept and extended their power. In 1502 he was sent to Romagna as a representative to Cesare Borgia, whom he admired for his boldness, clever frauds and expert use of cruelty. But in 1512 the army of Pope Julius II took over Florence and restored the Medici family to its position of authority, and Machiavelli, a republican, was out of work. He retired to a farm near San Casciano to write letters pleading for a job and suggesting ways his skills could be used. One of those pleadings was "The Prince," a small book on political science he completed around 1513 and dedicated to Lorenzo Medici. He hoped Lorenzo would be impressed and offer him a job. But Lorenzo ignored it and him.

Machiavelli in Kindergarten
by Peter Schooff
Dear Mrs. Machiavelli: My reason for this letter is to relay an incident that occurred with your boy, Nicolo. This afternoon I had to step out of the classroom briefly, so I told the children to put their heads on the desk. When I returned, I found your boy snooping around my desk. When I demanded to know what he was doing, he told me he wanted to know what made me such an effective leader so that one day he could change the course of history. That's a first for me, Mrs. Machiavelli, and I don't believe it for one second. I think your boy was interested in some homemade biscotti I keep in my top drawer. I think Nicolo needs a lesson in telling the truth, and keeping his hands off other people's biscotti. Regards, Ms. Capucci Dear Mrs. Machiavelli: What an odd little fellow your Nicolo is. The other day, as I was reading to the class from the "See Dick Run" series, little Nicolo raised his hand and asked if there were any books where Dick seized power. Later that day, when I was having trouble with several unruly students, Nicolo pulled me aside and said I'd have a much better chance of controlling the class if I used torture. And then, just today, Nicolo told me that, although he didn't think I was a very effective ruler anymore, he still liked me. Then he asked if he could have my head if I was ever beheaded. Is everything all right at home, Mrs. Machiavelli? Concerned, Ms. Capucci
