'A ripping read ... fascinating charming enjoyably unorthodox' Daily Telegraph Was Niccolo Machiavelli really the cynical schemer of legend - or was he a profound ethical thinker who tried to save the democratic freedom of Renaissance Florence as it was threatened by ruthless dynasties?

'A gripping portrait of a brilliant political thinker who understood the dangers of authoritarianism and looked for ways to curb them' The New Yorker 'Compelling ... this unconventional biography questions whether the philosopher deserves his reputation as an advocate for tyranny' Julian Baggini Financial Times
