In this episode we juxtapose the quest for power in The Prince by Niccolo Machivelli vs. Sun Tzu's The Art of War.  
The Prince is a 16th Century treatise or perhaps more accurately political philosophy by Niccolo Machiavelli which has become synonymous with its cynical, win at all costs, view on power and those who hold it.
