Best books to learn Understanding Machiavelli, in order
Machiavelli is more caricatured than read, so a good path first replaces the myth with the man. Start with a biography or introduction that sets him in Renaissance Florence, then read The Prince closely with that framing, and turn to the Discourses, where his genuine republicanism appears, so that machiavellian is understood as a distortion of a far subtler thinker.
