The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom

Wow! How did I not get taught this stuff in 17 years of schooling (not including Med school of course)? The topics covered in this one should be required education for not only every American, but every individual in a “free society” of any sort.

What's crazy is that for a book that was written in the 1980s and covers events mostly prior to 1950, this book is shockingly relevant at our current time.

If you have an Audible subscription, I believe this is included in your program and I would definitely recommend it if you want to be blown away by how prescient some guys writing in the 1600's and 1800's and early 20th Century were about politics and society.
