In this work he examines the practical realities of governing, arguing that rulers must often act decisively and pragmatically in order to preserve the stability of the state. The book remains one of the most widely discussed works in the history of political philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included is \u003cem\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/em\u003e, a dialogue exploring the organisation, training, and discipline of armies. Drawing upon classical models as well as contemporary experience, Machiavelli presents a detailed examination of military structure, strategy, and civic responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe History of Florence\u003c\/em\u003e provides a sweeping account of the political struggles that shaped the city-state of Florence from its early history through the turbulent period in which Machiavelli himself lived. The work reflects both his historical scholarship and his deep concern with the political destiny of his homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompleting the volume are the \u003cem\u003eDiscourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius\u003c\/em\u003e, often regarded as Machiavelli's most sustained reflection on republican government.
