About this product

Product Information

'The stoic, detached, empirical, hard-boiled, penetrating, realist mind of James Burnham is something to behold, to admire, to emulate' - National Review A classic work of political theory and practise, this book makes available an account of the modern Machiavellians, a remarkable group who have been influential in Europe and practically unknown in the United States: Gaetano Mosca, Georges Sorel, Robert Michels and Vilfredo Pareto. In addition, there is a long section on Machiavelli himself. James Burnham contends that the writings of these men hold the key both to the truth about politics and to the preservation of political liberty.

This book, the Machiavellians, established a new, higher understanding of réal politik- politics as it is really practiced - not the self serving literature that pedals the excuses and downright lies of today’s University courses. There are errors of the author of course, but when you are taking an important topic up to a new standard, we would be foolish to throw the baby out with the bath water.
