Be like the Fox - Machiavelli and his World

Author: Erica Benner
Stars: 4
Review by: MApgar

Quite surprisingly good, with several parallels to draw to today's current political situation. A biography of the Borgia hellraiser, and how he kept his head on and yet managed to really muck them up pretty good. He became an outcast when the republic fell and had to somewhat remake himself yet again, only to die not that long after, leaving his wife and many children in poverty. Set against several historical events of the period that were told quite well and without unnecessary exposition.
