Review: Robert Massie’s Catherine The Great

Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman

Loved this book. Catherine the Great was a bundle of contradictions. A brilliant mind and a great manipulator. Robert Massie’s well-researched and beautifully written biography does Catherine justice. I had read biographies of her before but none so thorough as this.

Massie uses an anecdotal style that is highly readable.

I write historical fiction, mostly from the perspective of young people who are thrust in the midst of war.
