This book contains a collection of 48 chapters summarizing various aspects of moral, internal, cruel, and enlightening moments in the history of three thousand years. The book's attractive writing style presents clear transformations and analyses of these 48 rules. By contemplating these 48 rules, the reader is led to evaluate the cruelty or cunning of contemporary kings such as the Medici family, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other poets and writers. Whether the reader accepts or not, it is apparent in the reading that these examples, drawn from history, measure the cruelty, deception, or value of their reigns. Examples from history, such as those of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P.T. Barnum, and others who ruled or were victims of their rule, are all taken from this book. These effective examples are provided for everyone to consider and gather together for their education.
