520    The Art of War (1521) is the only book published by 
       Niccolo Machiavelli during his lifetime, and he saw it as 
       one of his finest achievements. The Art of War develops 
       many themes introduced in Machiavelli's earlier works "The
       Prince" and "Discourses" and presents them as the 
       collected wisdom of a fictional leader Lord Fabrizio 
       Colonna. The book is constructed as a series of dialogues 
       supposedly held during a summer afternoon spent in the 
       Orti Oricellari gardens in Florence. The stated aim is "To
       honor and reward virtue, not to have contempt for poverty,
       to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to 
       constrain citizens to love one another, to live without 
       factions, to esteem less the private than the public good,
       and other such things which could easily be added in these
       times." As in "The Prince" Machiavelli develops the idea 
       of limited warfare, where force is used as an extension of
       politics, but now also introduces elements of 
       psychological warfare. In the first part of the book 
       Machiavelli strongly warns that any state establishing a 
       standing army must take special measures are taken to 
       prevent military leaders gaining too much control. If the 
       state ignores this it risks a military coup: something we 
       still see today. The Art of War was a standard text on 
       military tactics for three hundred years, only losing 
       favour when developments in the range and accuracy of 
       firearms made the Linear Tactics it described obsolete. 
       This translation by Henry Neville was published in 1675 
       when The Art of War was still considered a practical 
       military manual.
