The Complicated Politics of Virtue by Mark Blitz
Mark Blitz is probably a Straussian. Still, it doesn't seem like the book is that helpful and one should probably read the primary sources themselves instead. As for a book detailing the influence these Renaissance thinkers had on actual statesmen... what book covers that?
Is Machiavelli a Civic Humanist or a figure of the Renaissance?
