The author of "The Prince"--his controversial handbook on power,
which is one of the most influential books ever written--NiccolO
Machiavelli (1469-1527) was no prince himself. Born to an
established middle-class family, Machiavelli worked as a courtier
and diplomat for the Republic of Florence and enjoyed some small
fame in his time as the author of bawdy plays and poems. In this
discerning new biography, Ross King rescues Machiavelli's legacy
from caricature, detailing the vibrant political and social context
that influenced his thought and underscoring the humanity of one of
history's finest political thinkers.
