Banner of the Bull

Three Episodes in the Career of Cesare Borgia

With all the pomp and ceremony of medieval Italy as a colorful backdrop, Sabatini masterfully recreates the political intrigue and misguided loyalties that reigned as 'the Banner of the Bull' waved victoriously over the land. Weaving deft descriptions and spirited characterizations into historical events, this is the remarkable story of the notorious Cesare Borgia.
