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

5.0

This was a fantastic book. The author did extensive research in order to paint a full picture of Peter the Great as well as the people around him and the world around him. In addition to learning about Peter the Great, I learned about what was going on in Europe and some parts of the Middle East at that time, which put everything into context. The history I already knew was filled out with details and stories and the lives of real people.

I feel as though this book was an epic journey, and I'm so glad I went along for the ride.
