Description:

This exciting and psychologically penetrating account of the life and rule of Russia's eighteenth-century tsar-reformer develops an important theme. What happens when the drive for progress is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than a larger goal of human emancipation? What was the price of power -- both for Peter and for Russia? Anisimov's provocative history of Peter thus asks profound questions with resonance today.
