"Thanks to Hughes's beautifully written and profoundly scholarly book, for the first time the English-speaking reader is provided with a sufficiently full and just account of the events and institutions of Peter's reign....[I]t is a measure of the skill with which she handles a vast range of evidence that few of her readers will be likely to arrive at any glib assessment of one of the most astounding men who ever lived. Her work will without doubt long remain the standard text...."Hughes, Lindsey is the author of 'Russia in the Age of Peter the Great' with ISBN 9780300075397 and ISBN 0300075391.
