A 16th Century handbook of wily political thinking that tells you how to get the upper hand in every conceivable situation
Mail on Sunday
Everyone should have a copy of Machiavelli's The Prince, whose original purpose may have been to counsel Renaissance rulers in the art of statecraft but is still applicable to and, indeed, acted on by modern politicians and power-brokers
Guardian
How amazing, that anyone's ideas should be controversial after five centuries. Machiavelli expressed a certain attitude to power - it's a good thing, and the problem is how to get and keep it - so well that he has never become out dated

If one were to assign a single edition of Machiavelli's works, this most certainly would be it
John. P. McCormick, Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago
Machiavelli was not an evil genius, or a fiend, or a miserable coward of a writer; he is nothing but fact. And not just Italian fact, but European fact, sixteenth-century fact.
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
One of most influential books ever
