Who the Hell is the Devil?

They are among us. They sit in boardrooms and parliaments. They sign treaties and break them. They smile while they lie. According to legend, the Devil cannot hide his cloven foot. No matter how fine his clothes, that goat's hoof always shows. The legend may be the oldest trick of all. Satan moves more freely when we're watching for hooves. This book traces him from his expulsion from Heaven to his long career among us. Based on Daniel Defoe's classic Political History of the Devil and adapted for modern readers. Includes the Brothers Grimm tale "The Devil's Sooty Brother" and a timeline of Defoe's life.
