The theme of conspiracy is central to Machiavelli's writing. His
work offers observations and analysis of conspiracy as part of the
armoury of the Renaissance politician. Surprisingly, the theme has
not yet received the attention it merits. This volume corrects an
interpretation which reduces Machiavelli's position to one of
censorious observer of conspiracies. Quite to the contrary, as
Campi demonstrates, Machiavelli developed an anatomy of conspiracy
and provided a practical manual for coup d'etat" and violent
seizure of power.
