Negative Positive
Title: Peter the Great or Peter the Long!
Review: I'm more than half way into this tome and look forward to the end. Not that it isn't fascinating and full of facts, it's just a little repetitive at times and prone to lengthy asides about characters other than Peter the Great. That said, I can't put it down but then I have always been drawn to books about military campaigns, and there's lots of that here. It was not a kind period of history and this book is not for the squeamish. It is, however, amazingly well researched. The detail is incredible.
