If you're looking for a book on politics, I'd strongly recommend
Machiavelli's masterpiece, The Prince. It covers everything that you
might be looking for, and is easily available, and cheap (Penguin
Classics (I think) if stlg3 in the UK (about $4.50 US) - it's also a
good translation, staying true to the original Italian). It also, of
course, gives you loads of really cool quotes you can use as email
signatures, but that's by-the-by. ;-)

"And he who is not looking?"
"He gets run over."
