Beginning
I wrote this article as a synopsis and then realized that it was a good supplement to the book. I tried to make the links relevant to the period paying attention to things like the Habsburg Monarchy, Austrian Empire, Austria-Hungary and Austria, for one example. If I screwed up please make corrections following these guidelines.
The book is short for the subjects it covers and I think you will find this beneficial when reading it.

Notability
Unencyclopedic content removed.Notability questionable DGG (talk) 23:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- I think the reviews are trivial, and the 2 places where it is claimed to be used as texts equally so. I think that everything i say here applies to most or all of the other books by this author. DGG (talk) 23:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Look, lets discuss the article: if you try to do a summary of the book, there is no chance in my opinion that it will hold up at AfD. If you try a modest article--who knows, the reviews may be sufficient. Your choice, I'm trying to cut down the article to preserve it. I strongly suggest you restore my previous version--I'm no going to edit war about it, but I am going to follow this up one way or another. DGG (talk) 09:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
"Artfully laced"? This article really reads as if it was written by the author. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.222.182 (talk) 19:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:33StratagiesWar.jpg
Image:33StratagiesWar.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Removed copyvio
The synopsis section is a copyvio of [1] and its more detailed linked pages. it has therefore been removed. DGG (talk) 22:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Comparison
Why is this article so good and the The 48 Laws of Power so limited? (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 17:50, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
because this book is a lot better than The 48 Laws of Power. (The 48 laws of power being is already good, but this book is 10x better). --no signature for me cuz i'm newbie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.247.188.139 (talk) 17:54, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
