"The New Machiavelli" is a captivating narrative of life inside the 'sanctuary' of Number 10. In a 21st-century adaptation of Niccolò Machiavelli's influential masterpiece, "The Prince," Jonathan Powell - Tony Blair's Chief of Staff from 1994 to 2007 - recounts the inside story of that period, referencing his unpublished diaries. Drawing lessons from Machiavelli's experience as an official in 15th-century Florence, Powell shows how those lessons can still apply today. By illustrating each of Machiavelli's maxims with a description of events that occurred during Tony Blair's time as Prime Minister, "The New Machiavelli" is designed to be the "Prince" of the modern age.
