| Notes/Review |
Massie did an excellent job of telling the story of Peter the Great. The narrative never lags. Although we are taken on many side trips, never without reason. To properly place Peter in his context, it is necessary to learn a little about the culture and religion of the time and the other European leaders.
Highly recommended. |
