The Prince is really just Machiavelli's cliff-notes version of the Discourses. there are some dry parts in it, but many of the things that people misunderstood and excoriated him for are explained more thoroughly in the Discourses. He also wrote The Art of War, which I started and didn't finish for some reason I can't remember.

I have the Art of War but haven't read it yet. I have heard he borrows a bit from Vegetius in his Art of War but without reading it I'm not sure.
