5.0

FIRST LINE REVIEW: "Around Moscow, the country rolls gently up from the rivers winding in silvery loops across the pleasant landscape." And around Russia, throughout this massive and amazing biography, rolls Peter the Great and his love of both Russia and the waters that loop through and around it. Told with rich detail, loving attention and great clarity, the Russian expert, Massie, continues to amaze me.
