Praise for Machiavelli: [Boucheron] makes a case for Machiavelli as a misunderstood and villainized figure with political insights that can be applied to modern times. -New York Times Book Review To reframe our understanding of Machiavelli, Mr. Boucheron asks, Who was he writing for?...If The Prince was meant to help ordinary people understand what their leaders were up to, then it is not a handbook for the power-crazed but a means of stopping them. -Wall Street Journal This wise, witty, razor-sharp anatomy of Machiavelli demonstrates why the most notorious thinker of the Renaissance is the perfect companion for our own time. -Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern An elegant introduction to this disturbing, incisive, many-sided thinker-and a reminder of why we must read him right now. -Sarah Bakewell, author of How to Live: A Life of Montaigne
