Peter the Great: His Life and World by Robert K. Massie

5.0

It took me a little over two weeks to do so, but I've finally finished this monolith. This was a fantastic overview of the life of Peter Alexeyevich and his rule of Russia. I particularly enjoyed the section covering The Great Northern War against Charles XII of Sweden, as well as how Peter Westernized both the army and navy of the Tsardom of Russia. This was well worth the read for the insight on Peter's reign.
