Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rigorous examination of how power is attained and maintained across global civilization. The author identifies two types of power: political and military. While political power is the more attainable of the two, it can only be gained under the cover of democratic rule and its democratic pursuit deprives it of strength but enhances its permanence. Military power, alternatively, is a much more perilous form and one that is better suited for conquest. The author delves into historical examples and political philosophy to demonstrate the cyclical nature of the struggle for power and explores how the key to grasping power is recognizing that power is, by nature, a shifting force. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527680401_0
