Florentine Histories : (New translation) Introduction by Harvey Mansfield, Jr.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Macchiaveli shows in this book a great deal of his capacity to use history as an instrument of analysis of the politics. I would recommend the book, although I would also recommend to have read a couple of other Macchiaveli's works in advance in order to better understand his particular -and clever- way to analyze history. The Prince would be, in my opinion, the least of his workd that should be read in advance.
