"Machiavelli in Hell is both monumental and intimate, provocative and winning... [ De Grazia's] own style is pithy, sinewy, vigoroustaut and relaxed by turns: not unlike Niccol's. His Machiavelli is complex, brilliant, attractive, at times profound."--Thomas D'Evelyn, The Christian Science Monitor "Machiavelli in Hell is a living portrait of a man... At last we see Machiavelli in the midst of his contemporaries, rather than in the midst of our more or less fixed (and prejudiced) ideas about him... An extraordinary work, written, as Machiavelli would say, 'divinely'."--La Repubblica
