Description
Nobody has ever detailed history's most ruthless rulers and tyrants with as much flair and passion as French writer Alexandre Dumas. This gripping exposition of the Borgias, the Italian clan that earned notoriety as one of the world's most power-hungry and corrupt families, is a pulse-pounding read that fans of the true crime genre will find hard to put down..

Very much a more militaristic view of the life of the Borgia clan. Extremely dry reading. Very little about Lucrezia, more about Caesar (I've always seen it spelled as Cesare.....) and somewhat about Rodrigo/Pope Alexander. And while I realize this is a translation from Italian, it was full of spelling errors which absolutely drove me nuts.
