Indeed, Machiavelli argues, so great was his vigour and charisma that - had he not been prevented by his untimely death - he might have surpassed in fame the great generals of antiquity and brought all the territories of Italy under his sole dominion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in Machiavelli's characteristically lucid and terse style, Life of Castruccio Castracani is not only a key text in understanding the development of the author's ideas on leadership and good statesmanship that would find fuller expression in The Prince, but also a revealing account of the political ferment and fractious factionalism of fourteenth-century Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is accompanied by selected passages from Machiavelli's Florentine Histories and a detailed map with historical notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: This series has been created with the aim of redefining and enriching the classics canon by promoting unjustly neglected works of enduring significance.
