Reportedly, Poland's foreign minister, Josef Beck, believed that a joint Polish-German anti-Stalinist foreign policy was dangerous in itself. Some historians believe that Beck, being a student of European history took the advice of Machiavelli in his book The Prince. In that renaissance era publication, Machiavelli warned that making an alliance with a more powerful nation against a third nation, if successful, would make the weaker nation a prime target of its ally.
