Publisher's Summary
In an attempt to appeal to the Medici family during the Italian Renaissance, Machiavelli outlines the way to acquire and retain political power, and how great men should behave in a princely government. The book is divided into four parts - types of principalities and state, proper conduct of a prince as military leader, personal conduct of a prince, and the disparity of Italy's political situation. Many listeners will be able to see principals that Machiavelli advocates for are still used in many political systems today.

I think that studying military strategy more generally would serve you better than reading this book to understand statecraft. At best this is a very broad anecdotal philosophy for modelling success at statesmanship and military leadership.
It tries to give a generalized strategy for overcoming political and military obstacles in for people of all ages but without a strong examination of military strategy it doesn’t make its case strongly enough.
