The most famous book on politics ever written, The Prince remains as lively and as shocking today as when it was written almost five hundred years ago. Initially denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and as a recommendation of tyranny, it has more recently been defended and indeed applauded as the first scientific treatment of politics as it is rather than as it ought to be. A masterpiece of effective prose, The Prince is at once comic and formidable, imaginative and calculating, fascinating and chilling.

Harvey C. Mansfield's translation brilliantly recreates the subtlety and terseness of Machiavelli's own prose while presenting an eminently readable text. Written in accessible and idiomatic English, it is the most literal and accurate translation available. In thi Minimize

by   George_Chabot ,  Mar 12, 2006
Pros: Enlightening and incisive
Cons: Many do not wish to do the thinking required to digest these concepts
The Bottom Line: The Prince is a classic that revolutionized political thought. As relevant today as it ever was.
Review: The Prince (1513) “Never do an enemy a minor injury.” Niccolo Machiavelli Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) was a renaissance man and the first modern political thinker on record. A commoner, Machiavelli hitched his star to the ...

The end justifies the means

by   transcendental ,  Apr 17, 2004
Pros: Get into the realistic side of life
Cons: You require a great lot of patience to read it
The Bottom Line: Read it if you are interested in politics, but bear in mind this ain't no entertaining book.
Review: This is no entertaining book. It teaches a lot, but it does not entertain. More kind of essay than anything else. It was written by the so highly commented Macchiavelli. Most of Macchiavelli's writings are known for their lack of morality and 'The ...
