The Prince
How to be a great conqueror or prince.
The 10 Books that Screwed Up the World and five Others that Didn’t Help by Dr. Benjamin Wiker is an intriguing read for those brave souls with a penchant for philosophy or the history of western civilization. From these fifteen pernicious books Dr. Wiker makes a case for how godless atheistic philosophies have been malevolently used by those in power to promulgate massive human suffering in the 20th century. Infamous authors of these malevolent books include Machiavell’s The Prince, Hitler’s Mein Kampf, The Communist Manisfesto by Karl Marx, The Descent of Man by Charles Darwin, Future of an Illusion by Sigmond Freud, Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche, The Pivot of Civilization by Margret Sanger, and Sexual Behavior of the Human Male by Alfred Kinsey.
