About the book: 2013 / British diplomat Jonathan Powell, who headed the Tony Blair administration since 1997 - in perhaps the “hottest” decade of Great Britain, both in terms of foreign policy, and from the internal political side - I decided to check the relevance of the advice of the great Italian for MODERN politicians. The result was the book “The New Machiavelli”, no less interesting than, in fact, its brilliant predecessor - “The Prince”. “Lessons of Practical Machiavellianism” for those who intend to survive and succeed in the corridors of power!.. “The Prince” by Niccolò Machiavelli is the bible for politicians. It is read and re-read, it does not sit on the shelves of bookstores. But has the underbelly of the political kitchen changed since the time of Machiavelli? Have the behind-the-scenes rules by which the new “sovereigns” govern their “subjects” changed? What have become the principles of the current political game? How comparable are they with the style and handwriting of the glorious intrigues of the era of Machiavelli? And what will the one who decides to follow them achieve??..
