[justify]The Craft of Power teaches many things :
Crime, it is here to stay?be versed
A power play without money can only be a farce
Mix blame with pain in your punishments
Expect foul play
Coil yourself omnidirectionally
Be quick in masking yourself and unmasking others
Martyrs must be honored if power is to flourish
Never confuse exhilaration with power
Never, never, never, never outshine the big boss
This remarkable book presents a step-by-step system to develop an appreciation of the underlying principles of personal power and its enhancement.
A compelling blend of erudition, wit, storytelling, cynicism, morality, and practicality, The Craft of Power is profuse with techniques for managing people and organizations, for developing a personal philosophy of power, and for implementing this philosophy.
If you can live with it, it can live with you. Let not the wailing and groaning of the innocent weaken your will to win and keep.
