title: Machiavelli's Prince: A New Reading
author:  Erica Benner 
description: <br>"In this powerful and provocative re-reading, Erica Benner, the author of <em>Machiavelli's Ethics</em>, boldly challenges conventional wisdom concerning Machiavelli's purposes in <em>The Prince</em> by revealing his artful and subtle use, informed by ancient philosophical techniques, of irony and dissimulation to make the text mean other than what it seems to say. Benner's stimulating reinterpretation is a 'must read' that will compel you to rethink everything you thought you knew about <em>The Prince</em>." --John Najemy, Professor of History, Cornell University <br>
