"This is an excellent, readable and vigorous translation of The Prince, but it is much more than simply a translation. The map, notes and guide to further reading are crisp, to-the-point and yet nicely comprehensive. The inclusion of the letter to Vettori is most welcome. But, above all, the Introduction is so gripping and lively that it has convinced me to include The Prince in my syllabus for History of Western Civilization the next time that I teach it. . . . Great price, too! And lovely printing and layout." --Rachel Fulton, University of Chicago

Wootton's work is splendid. The Introduction amply explains his approach. Eminently readable by a broad audience. I truly enjoyed it.
I found this book quite amazing in the fact this book is about 500 years old but most of the way our politicians act today is as if this is the book the study . And anyone who is any committee or organization would find this an education .
I was referred to this book by a friend,it is a good read and the presentation was very readable, even the obligatory introduction of the analysis of the analysts who do the analysis and the analysis of that analysis.The meat of the book is still very applicable today. Just replace "Prince" with elected Representative. "Advisor" with administrator/municipal staff. "Army" with Police/Emergency services.My take is he presented his rulers, or government with 90% sound advice for the national level, and 10% lies to preserve his Florence, to have its independence.Overall, I was happy with this version, mainly because it is also offered in e form and was relatively low cost!
This is a very readable translation and the extensive foreword gives tremendous background and context. It has been amazing how applicable the thoughts and principles expressed in The Prince are to modern politics and business.
Great read for anybody undertaking any political research. I enjoyed every chapter. It is hard not to see the blatant attack on ignorant leaders, even today's leaders.
Great digital book. I enjoyed reading Machiavelli's The Prince like never before. Well done for converting it to a digital source.
