Paperback. By the mid-nineteenth century, the most prominent British and French liberal thinkers vigorously supported the conquest of non-European people.

Hardback. Dispelling the myth that Florentine politics offered only negative lessons, Mark Jurdjevic shows that significant aspects of Machiavelli's political thought were inspired by his native city.
