Niccolo Machiavelli

Select a world leader who has been dead or out of office for at least 20 years and analyze his/her performance in light of Machiavelli’s admonitions to the Prince. Consider SPECIFIC moments and events, decisions and actions. Was it a good idea, or a bad one, for this leader to behave like a Machiavellian Prince at these specific times? Evoke concrete admonitions to the prince, not generalities or assumptions.
