Critics Review
“Christopher Lynch has made the best and the first careful translation of Machiavelli’s Art of War. With useful notes, an excellent introduction, an interpretive essay, glossary, and index, it is a treasure for readers of military history and Renaissance thought as well as for lovers of Machiavelli.” - Harvey.
