Machiavelli is one of the greatest underestimated authors (in my opinion). If you have not read his Discourses (on republics, based on Livy's History of Rome) and The Art of War (15th Century military strategy presented as a conversation), they are highly recommended.
Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!
