Machiavelli  
Machiavelli on Modern Leadership: Why Machiavelli's Iron Rules Are as Timely and Important Today as Five Centuries Ago
By Michael A. Ledeen
St. Martin's, 202 pp., $22.95

The New Prince
By Dick Morris
Renaissance, 252 pp., $22.95

Review excerpt:

Niccolo Machiavelli, expert, it seems, on all things political, is having a revival of late. He has received the attention of two current courtiers: Michael A. Ledeen, former advisor to President Reagan; and Dick Morris, the political consultant whose most notorious former client is the sitting president. Both have written books that evoke Machiavelli--at least on their covers. 

Michael A. Ledeen is a resident scholar in the Freedom Chair at AEI.
