"A Superior Study of a Great Woman" according to Bruce Kendall.

A Good Introduction This book is a short history of Catherine the Great's reign consisting of 218 pages. It is an introduction and covers major highlights over a 30 year span from the coup d'etat that landed Catherine in power to her final days and fatal stroke (not the fabled horse romp).It depicts the communal culture of Russia that I find to be very different from American. Great read MES This is a great read that puts the reign of Catherine the Great into context without dwelling on the usual sensationalism.
