Niccolò Machiavelli - one of the most famous Italian thinkers and political figures of the Renaissance (he held the post of Secretary of State in Florence), writer, historian, military theorist, who created a number of historical and political works ("Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius", "History of Florence"). His most significant and controversial work was the treatise "The Sovereign". For many years this book was associated with the politics of poison and dagger, and after its publication the term "Machiavellianism" appeared, denoting cynicism, permissiveness, duplicity in politics. This edition introduces the reader to Machiavelli's treatise "On the Art of War", which stands among the greatest works on the theory of military affairs. It is here that for the first time sounded ideas, the importance of which for the subsequent history of the Western world is difficult to overestimate and which are supported by many examples of great victories and defeats of antiquity. The treatise "On the Art of War" is presented in a new translation and is accompanied by an article and detailed notes.
