In the middle ages, it was likely that basic military conventions such as army organizations, command hierarchies, subordinate compliance, and military law were very weak. Niccolo machiavelli changed all that.
Among many improvements, he gave rise to the concept of army formation and proclaimed diskipline as the highest interest. War is war, he believes it; and victory is the ultimate goal that subdues all judgment. Despite the republican heart, machiavelli 's time saw a formidable political and military leader needed, a leader capable of forging a unified state in northern italy to rid italy of external powers.
The art of war can be described as a classic military work that outlines basic issues of warfare, which are still being studied by war experts. It also describes the relationship of military theory with machiavelli 's political theory. The book has been recognized and appreciated for about five centuries, and has been read by world leaders frederick the great and napoleon. The book is a major reading for every study of history, theory, and military strategy. "
