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. Mansfield, Harvard University; “Lynch argues convincingly that Art of War’s detractors have failed to approach the text in the right way…. If Machiavelli’s works bear the mark of a preliberal age, his thought also transcends his age, not least his timeless warning about ideologies that, in the name of abstract principles, ask us to refrain from defending… the nation in which we actually live.” - Jacqueline Newmyer, Weekly Standard”
