Against the monumental canvas of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe and Russia unfolds the magnificent story of Peter the Great.
Peter was literally and figuratively a giant. He built St. Petersburg out of a swamp. He forced his nobles to shave their beards. Massie writes history like a novel. The details of the Russian court are vivid. It is a story of sheer force of will. It explains the roots of modern Russia through the life of one extraordinary man.
