The Prince made Machiavelli's name synonymous with ruthless power and cruelty. Now biographer Ross King strips away historical misconceptions to show that Machiavelli was one of the most sensitive and astute political thinkers of his time. The popular author of bawdy plays and poems, he also weathered both the favor and disfavor of 16th-century Italian royalty and was a superb diplomat.
