In addition, there is a long section on Machiavelli himself.\nJames Burnham contends that the writings of these men hold the key both to the truth about politics and to the preservation of political liberty.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1839013958\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1839013958.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Burnham, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
