Washington Post: Book review: ‘The Artist, the Philosopher, and the Warrior’ by Paul Strathern.
“Strathern, a novelist and author of other popular histories, does for Machiavelli and da Vinci what he does for Borgia: creates a flesh-and-blood portrait for each that defies historical stereotype. Using his novelist’s eye and a historian’s sweep, Strathern conveys the emotional subtleties that animated their lives. It’s no small feat that he makes you care deeply for these complex figures who lived half a millennium ago.” This goes on my Wish List.
