The Borgias: The Hidden History by G.J. Meyer

informative medium-paced

5.0

I read this knowing nothing about the Borgias, so there wasn’t any previous knowledge that needed to be challenged or disproven for me.  When I read history, I want historical context and to know what the author’s sources are, and this book provides both. I especially appreciated Meyer’s decision to sometimes offer multiple interpretations of events instead of simply accepting the most dramatic version.
