Summary:"Machiavelli is usually understood as a thinker who separated morality from politics and championed the view that "the ends justify the means." Raymond Angelo Belliotti argues, instead, that Machiavelli presents us with a much more nuanced view of the potential moral conflicts faced by politicians and military leaders." "Belliotti neither tries to domesticate Machiavelli by picturing him as a liberal humanist nor paint him as a teacher of evil. Rather, this book offers a balanced understanding of the Florentine and an insightful examination of the stunning discoveries and glaring errors that arise from his conclusion that international affairs have always been and will always be a series of zero-sum contests."--BOOK JACKET.
