Machiavelli's Republican should prove to be an eye opener for any critical citizen. It is an excellent vehicle for stating what many of us have already intuited for years. I would recommend it highly to anyone who is serious about wading through the manufactured morass of "PoliSpeak and PoliDo" that is modern American politics.

Dr. Blue's, through the personna of Machiavelli, depicts the Republican philosophical platform and their methods in a clear and irrefutable form.

What this book is missing is an expanded view of how Machiavellian thinking affects all of American politics and not just the Republican Party form of it.

This book is a masterful summation of modern day conservative republican thinking and behavior. Although presented in an unflattering light, Mr. Blue provides concrete examples of their thinking without creative editing. At the same time he shows how they have distorted or ignored the writings of the founding fathers and the bible to support their twisted views. It's almost as if he has been channeling the right wing viewer callers to C-SPAN rather than Machiavelli.
