Description
A part of the acclaimed Eminent Lives series, Machiavelli is an excellent portrait of the bright and revolutionary political thinker—history’s so much famous theorist of “warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed”—and the age he embodied. Ross King, the New York Times bestselling writer of Brunelleschi’s Dome, argues that the writer of The Prince used to be a much more complicated and sympathetic character than is continuously portrayed.
