Description

Many books chronicle the remarkable life of Peter the Great, but none analyze how his famous reforms took root and spread in Russia. By century’s end, Russia was poised to play a critical role in the Napoleonic wars and boasted an elite culture on the cusp of its golden age. Here, Cracraft offers a brilliant new interpretation of this pivotal era.
