really liked it
bookshelves: non-fiction

A solid concise thesis, a concise story well told, and an excellent analysis of a specific series of decisions that lead to a monumental impact on the world. I had my eye on this one for a long time, and it didn't fail to live up to expectations. I especially appreciated the succinct summary of the Borgias...one that didn't require a biblical-length text in its own right.
