I have read a few books about Catherine the Great and found this one reasonable - there were a few differences from the others i had read, but i suppose that is natural.I should have added that the author should have been more careful of phrases used in parts of the book - I really can't see Russians in Catherine's time using "Americanisms" such as 'kick ass" - this spoilt the parts phrases of this type were used. - after all, those phrases were not around in those days, & even now, would not be used by anyone at a Royal Court.
