The most informative, balanced, and up-to-date short study of Catherine the Great and her reign, written by an eminent scholar of Russian history

"Not just another biography of Catherine but a panoramic view of Russia's social, political, economic, and cultural development and of its emergence as a formidable power in the international arena during the thirty-four years of her reign."—Anthony Cross, New York Times Book Review

This edition includes a new preface dealing with recently discovered sources and revised interpretations of the period.

Praise for the earlier edition:
“A panoramic view of Russia’s social, political, economic, and cultural development and of its emergence as a formidable power in the international arena during the thirty-four years of [Catherine’s] reign.”—Anthony Cross, New York Times Book Review

“De Madariaga’s book will be the standard and an essential guide for all students and scholars of Russian and European history of the second half of the eighteenth century.”—Marc Raeff, Journal of Modern History

I am still reading it and will have to update my review. I did see a you tube video where the author does talk about her historical views on Catherine the GREAT

Professor de Madariaga doesn't waste words but there is a lot of information here. This is my first course in the history of Imperial Russia and I really liked this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Russian history, not Catherine history
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2008

This book is so dry...very hard to finish. It tells very little about Catherine. Way too much about Russian history leading up to her rule.

Este libro ayuda a comprender la importancia de los hechos que tanto han influido en la historia del mundo y que han tenido origen en la Rusia de Catalina la Grande.
