I had a book once on the whole family called "The Borgias" that had a good amount of info on Ceasar. I sold it, but I think this is it:

Rafael Sabatini has one. It's available online for free as well.

"The Fall of the House of Borgia" by E.R. Chamberlin is not the most comprehensive account of the Borgias, but it is very well written and a compelling read

Thanks a lot guys.

The manga Cesare may also interest you (it even has Machiavelli in it)

Huh. A big-eyes-small-mouth Cesare Borgia.

Cesare Borgia by Sarah Bradford
Read it years ago and can't remember details but seem to think it was okay (There was a TV series called 'The Borgias' based on it which got a lot of hype in the early 80s but I wouldn't hold that against it).

Big eyes? Yes. Effeminate? yes. Does it tell a good story? YES

Last point important.
