Ah, yes, I think of this book whenever someone says, "The end justifies the means." A great book on life, love, and war, but not a great philosophy to follow if you are looking for peace. ( ) L'Art de la guerre, publié en 1521, occupe une place singulière dans l’œuvre de Machiavel. Présenté sous la forme d'un dialogue, l'ouvrage surprend par son esprit peu machiavélique. Les considérations tactiques y côtoient les propos consacrés aux nécessités matérielles de la guerre (recrutement, armement...), orchestrant avec subtilité une réflexion sur le pouvoir. Quelles limites la politique impose-t-elle à l'art de la guerre ? Comment définir l'autorité ? Ce sont là quelques-unes des questions soulevées par Machiavel qui puise ici ses modèles chez les Anciens. En grand stratège, il omet parfois de répondre. Mais la guerre est une affaire si sérieuse qu'il faut peut-être savoir la manier avec ironie. The work is a completely new translation by Christopher Lynch. His goal was to produce as accurate and faithful translation as the two languages would allow. That job was handled particularly well. There are extensive notes on the translation process and word choice. If you are looking for a very faithful tranlation, this book is for you. However, it's not for me. I am an avid military history reader and I was looking forward to this book. But, the dense run on sentences that characterize the Italian original makes for tough going. Lynch begins the book with an extensive introduction that sets the work in context both in Italian politics and in Machiavelli's life. I thought that was quite good. He (Lynch) ends the volume with an interpretive essay that I thought was a bit choppy and is more focused on Machiavelli (no surprise, that's his field). I was hoping for more on the art of war part. This is a facinating book in that it was written by a civilian with very little practical experience in the field. More of a compare/contrast look at how his ideas stacked up against the more conventional masters would have been nice. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
