Machiavelli didn't write "The Art of War"! Sun Tzu did. Machiavelli wrote "The Prince," which was a discussion of whether a prince should be loved or feared by his people for the best effect on the society. The book was in praise of Cesare Borgia, a leader who was feared by his people, and also historically based on Lucius Cornelius Sulla, a dictator of Rome prior to Julius Caesar. It is true that the methods advocated in "The Prince" have not proven very effective, despite the successes of Sulla and Borgia in using these tactics.
