Machiavelli’s ''The Prince'', although received unfavorably during his lifetime, is still read and considered a classic today for its groundbreaking ideas.  Machiavelli wrote ''The Prince'' in a desperate attempt to inspire the leadership of his day to unite Italy and restore her honor and pride.  He saw that the efforts of Italian leaders in the past had failed miserably, and sought an entirely new solution.  His rejection of morals in government, however, proved to be the reason why, in the end, his writings were rejected.  The book can still be learned from today, however, for it is itself a piece of history, and its contents reflect one man’s effort to solve an entire country’s problems.
