This book aims to expose the truth behind the age-old rumours of this ancient family and to shed light onto a fascinating period of history.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted

    I had read some historical fiction in this era and wondered what had really happened, but didn't want to tackle a huge biography just for some highlights. This book was perfect for what I needed; a quick sum up of all the relevant facts. As a bonus, it was a well-written (and thus an enjoyable read).

    A quick overview of a complicated man who delivered bad ends to many and met one himself. There seems to be a bit of padding toward the end of the book, but if you need a quick overview to supplement another interest this will do. There are better books, but they are much longer.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and readable

    I really enjoyed this short and concise book - the first by Samantha Morris - because her enthusiasm for her subject is apparent throughout (and I admire history writers all the more for this). Before reading this, I knew very little about Cesare Borgia except the oft-regurgitated myths and rumours, and I was pleased to have these cleared up and learn about what the most probable facts are about the Borgias. I commend Morris for her work in this, and look forward to her next.
