Machiavelli drew on 2000 years of history to develop theories on how to make war, how to win battles, and how to gain power and keep it. Using Machiavelli as a springboard, Dennis and Ching Ping Bloodworth map out 3000 years of Chinese political-military history— from Confucius to Mao Zedong— using Machiavelli's discourse of power politics. They reveal Chinese historical figures, from wise strategists to ruthless emperors, without the usual Confucian restraint. This book aims to help Western readers understand Chinese diplomatic and military strategy by examining the principles guiding Chinese leaders throughout history. It explores how China's past influences modern political behavior.
