William Hahn’s Reviews > The Prince > Status Update

First read The Prince in college- a revelation, made me understand the vital importance of context in historical writing. As far as I'm concerned, there's no way he wrote a book about how to govern to an incompetent fop who had hired mercs to beat Niccolo's new army, and then torture and exile him. I realized a whole new way to view not only Machiavelli, but all of History as I continued to study it.
