King Arthurs Death, commonly referred to as the Alliterative Morte Arthure, is a Middle English poem written in Lincolnshire at the end of the 14th century. A source work for Malorys later Morte dArthur, it is an epic tale which documents the horrors of war, the loneliness of kingship and the terrible price paid for arrogance.The poem tells of the arrival of emissaries from Imperial Rome demanding that Arthur pay his dues as a subject. Arthurs refusal leads him on a quest to confront his foes and challenge them for command of his lands.His venture is not without cost. Although he defeats the Romans, his decision to leave Mordred at home to watch over his realm and guard Guinevere, his queen, proves to be a costly one. He must now face Mordred for control of his kingdom a conflict ultimately fatal to the pair of them.Combining heroic action, insight into human frailty and great attention to contemporary detail, King Arthurs Death is not only a lesson in effective kingship, it is also an astonishing mirror on our own times, highlighting the folly of letting stubborn dogma drive political decisions.

The Art of War (Dellarte della guerra), is one of the lesser-read works of Florentine statesman and political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli.The format of The Art of War was in socratic dialogue. The purpose, declared by Fabrizio (Machiavellis persona) at the outset, "To honor and reward virtu, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good." To these ends, Machiavelli notes in his preface, the military is like the roof of a palazzo protecting the contents.Written between 1519 and 1520 and published the following year, it was the only historical or political work printed during Machiavellis lifetime, though he was appointed official historian of Florence in 1520 and entrusted with minor civil duties.Many, Lorenzo, have held and still hold the opinion, that there is nothing which has less in common with another, and that is so dissimilar, as civilian life is from the military. Whence it is often observed, if anyone designs to avail himself of an enlistment in the army..
