More like 48 Laws of politics with case histories. I don’t see how hiding, stealing credit, sucking up and other sneaky games equal to power. But I do see how they help one reach places. Maybe it’s just my definition of power. Anyway this book has all the tricks and I’m sure most of us have already been at one of the ends of the ‘laws’. What did impress me is the history lessons as each track had examples of the laws used by a lot of well know leaders and celebrities. Contents below summarise the laws.
