What are some philosophy books/textbooks that deal with the nature of power, such as social power, political power, military power, ect.? Art of War would be an example of what I'm looking for.

Consider Hitler: in 1922 he was a nobody, in a state that was recovering from the costs of WWI and the terms of the Versailles Treaty. He didn't have any money himself, and initially he had no followers, either. 11 years later, in 1933 he took over the German State. How did he manage that? It was mainly through the threat of force (and some application), the money that conservatives donated to his cause, playing on deep hatreds, and a certain amount of crooked dealings. Plus, quite a few Germans (by no means a majority) deeply resented the terms of the Versailles Treaty, which provided a rallying point around which to organize. Hitler never won a majority of the votes in honest elections. Still, he vas dur fucking fuhrer for way, way, way too long.
