Description
Details

Niccolò Machiavelli, the Italian Renaissance historian, politician, diplomat, philosopher and humanist, is regarded by many as the founder of modern political science. His most renowned work, 'The Prince', continues to cause great controversy for its advocacy of immoral and ruthless actions in politics.
