OP Agree. I borrow this from this week's AWADmail issue 383:
[From: Bob Lee
Subject: Machiavelli
I don't think you are entirely fair in the description of Il Principe (given below). Craft, yes, deceit if necessary, but pragmatic sense always. If kindness and honesty will do the job, Machiavelli advises that direction. His book is intensely practical, tailoring behavior to the nature of the people you deal with. If they are crafty and deceitful, his advice is to fight fire with fire.]
The Prince, a political treatise describing the use of craft and deceit to achieve political power.
Little by little most aspects come together.
