Re The Prince: You'll enjoy some of these links...I'll read later tonight or tomorrow night...lots of grass to run through till then... who2.com About the Author emachiavelli.com A summary of "The Prince" online-literature.com A comment from the book... Its essential contribution to modern political thought lies in Machiavelli's assertion of the then revolutionary idea that theological and moral imperatives have no place in the political arena. "It must be understood," Machiavelli avers, "that a prince ... cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state." With just a little imagination, readers can discern parallels between a 16th-century principality and a 20th-century presidency.
