This volume is divided into two parts. The first consists of a long introductory essay which summarizes and critically analyzes the Machiavellian interpretation of conspiracies. The second part is represented by an anthology of writings by Machiavelli, and includes the three most important texts in which he touches on the theme.
"Part II of the book, except for "Note on the Texts," consists of three texts by Niccolao Machiavelli translated by Christian E. Detmold. This translation is in the public domain."
