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.
