Memo from Machiavelli: How to Succeed in British Politics
Episode 12 · 1994-12-11
- Documentary
Episode overview
Niccolo Machiavelli's name is synonymous with political intrigue, but recent analysis of his work suggests that he was a political pragmatist whose best-known book 'The Prince' is as relevant today as it was in the 16th century. Reading extracts from 'The Prince' is Ian Richardson, who played Francis Urquhart in House of Cards.
