Book Description:

The man whose name is shorthand for all that is ugly in politics was more nuanced than his reputation suggests. Celenza's portrait of Machiavelli removes the varnish to reveal not just the hard-nosed philosopher but the skilled diplomat, learned commentator on ancient history, comic playwright, tireless letter writer, and thwarted lover.
