Book Reviews of Catherine the Great
Book Review: A Passionate Lady Indeed.
Summary: 4 Stars
The portrait painted in this biography is one of a complex, but calculating lady, who had her sights set on acquiring power at an early age. The focus is on her life at court and her accomplishements in building natiional treasures. It is somewhat sparse on the details of her military actions but does a nice job of providing a sense of the period-especially with regards to France and Voltaire. Her many favorite men are also detailed.
It is a good biorgraphy, but not a page-turner.
