The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli - Book Review

Recently I have been drawn to books people find controversial. I guess it is my feeling that often when there is a conflict, there must be something interesting. This is definitely the case with Machiavelli's famous book The Prince. Being denounced because of its honest description of political mechanisms, this book was the favourite read of Margaret Tatcher, Tony Blair, Mussolini, Hitler and multiple other "princes".
Here is my review - what I think about it and how I understand it. Let me know in the comments what you think!

What do you think of Machiavelli? Can a "good" statesman learn from him?

I believe a good statesman can learn a lot from Machiavelli. Niccolo also wrote "The discourses on Livy" it is a substantially longer book than "The Prince", and it goes into immense detail about forming and maintaining republics with Rome being the foundation for his arguments originally presented by the Roman historian Titus Livius. Some of the controversy surrounding The Prince is negated because he has an equal if not greater respect for free republics which would 'seem' to contradict himself.

Great review. One of my favourite books. I took openpsychometrics's dark triad personality test and scored 98 in machiavellianism, while scoring under 20 in psychopathy and narcissism.

Excellent review, well articulated and you would make an excellent teacher or lecturer. I always appreciate biographies and learn about significant people in history. Just one suggestion: try to always look right into the lens of the camera. If you look at some sort of notes just on the side or behind the camera lens you lose the person's attention. You are an attractive girl, have a strong voice and speak well so look right at your audience. If you would do public speaking it would be the same; scan your audience and look right at a large number of people for maybe 10 seconds each and the whole thing becomes more personal. People connect with you better and pay better attention to you! Good luck and continue doing book reviews, it'll motivate your audience to become more interested in becoming prolific readers themselves! I read a fair bit and tried to work through Encyclopedia Britannica's "Great Books of the Western World" over the last 35 years. Unfortunately I'm not as disciplined as I should be. There is one book that comes to mind which I'll never forget; it's called "The Intellectuals" by Paul Johnson and it's about the pathetic, debauched private lives of some leading figures of history, great men we looked up to and who were of great influence yet what they did in their personal lives showed their callous disregard for their "loved ones", their wives and children. Men in leadership are sometimes even greater hypocrites!
