Peter the Great was a giant among men and this truly epic biography spans a continent, covers an epoch and charts a social revolution.
A barbarous, volatile feudal tsar with a taste for torture; a progressive and enlightened reformer of government and science; a statesman of vision: Peter the Great embodied the greatest strengths and weaknesses of Russia while being at the very forefront of her development.
Robert Massie's Pulitzer Prize-winning study remains the essential portrait of the man and his era.
