Description
Hulliung's Citizen Machiavelli argues that Machiavelli's embrace of fraud and violence cannot take cover behind Italian patriotism or a concern with the common good--and that Machiavelli uses and abuses history in the service of his mythical intent He is a republican imperialist, embracing the heroic pagan virtues and consciously subverting the humanistic tradition of Cicero and the religious morality of Christianity by an intentionally skewed interpretation of republican Rome.
