Description

Book Synopsis
Scholars have long maintained that Machiavelli's "The Prince" does not develop a single sustained argument but rather presents a set of disparate reflections. This book takes a different view. It demonstrates that there is an internal consistency in "The Prince" built upon a key argument.

Trade Review

A thorough analysis. De Alvarez provides extraordinary guidance in explaining the intricate unity of the work.

* Perspectives on Political Science *

A magnificent study of Machiavelli's The Prince.

-- Vickie Sullivan, author of Machiavelli's Three Romes

Professor de Alvarez has done a useful service by providing a degree of structure to The Prince, grouping its chapters into a series of sections that share common overarching themes.
