This first volume covers Cochrane's earlier life, during which he is most active militarily. (Introduction by Timothy Ferguson)

To the joy of France, Cardinal Mazarin dies, leaving a power vacuum that ...

The careful, mature reader, for whom the books are intended, will recognize, and allow for, this fact. (from publisher's note)The first volume comprises the annals of the Borgias and the Cenci. The name of the noted and notorious Florentine family has become a synonym for intrigue and violence, and yet the ...
