The book gives a good account of life and rule of Catherine the Great, both of her personal life and in the context of overall political environment. My only gripe - and it's a very serious one - is that quite often the author goes into details that I believe are just not interesting and quite useless. It takes quite a lot of space in the book and makes reading much slower. ( ) no reviews | add a review
