Official synopsis Publisher
Much criticized for his embracing of the belief that the ends justify the means—at least in terms of the goals of the politically motivated—the Italian prince Niccolo Machiavelli became such a notorious figure that his very name has become part of the lexicon. The term Machiavellian has come to embody self-interested and cruel manipulations, political or otherwise. His political treatise, The Prince, was published in 1532. In the intervening centuries, this controversial work has had a widespread influence upon Western society and politics.
