:

Niccolo Machiavelli 's name is synonymous with political intrigue, but recent analysis of his work suggests that he was a political pragmatist whose best-known book, The Prince, is as relevant today as it was some years ago in 16th-century Italy. Reading extracts from The Prince is Ian Richardson , who played Francis Urquhart in House of Cards.
