Review
The result is a life of Machiavelli that must surely be definitive in its faithfulness to the man and his experience of his time . . . Lee presents a novel interpretation of his subject’s thinking. — John Gray ― New Statesman
Detailed, accessible and authoritative . . . an utterly absorbing month-by-month, often day-by-day account of Machiavelli’s life and career. — John Guy ― Literary Review
A fine new biography. — Simon Heffer ― Telegraph
A superb work of scholarship, securely grounded in the turbulent Italy of Machiavelli’s day, and unflinchingly truthful. Machiavelli’s letters and papers are so plangent and lively, it is tempting to go easy on him. Lee is fond of his subject, but not indulgent. — Ferdinand Mount ― Prospect
[A] weighty and impressively detailed biography — Michael Prodger ― The Times [T]he definitive book on Machiavelli — Christopher Hart ― Sunday TimesAbout the Author
