Robert Massie
Pulitzer-prize winning biographer Rober Massie relates the life of a minor German princess who would go on to become Empress Catherine II of Russia, in Catherine the Great (Random House, $35.00). Confident, cultured, and witty, Catherine the Great’s range of influence over her three-decade rule was unparalleled. " . . . Massie once again delivers a masterful, intimate, and tantalizing portrait of a majestic monarch," says Publishers Weekly in its starred review. Massie's previous books include Nicholas and Alexandra, Pulitzer Prize-winning Peter the Great, The Romanovs: The Final Chapter, and Dreadnought: Britain, Germany, and the Coming of the Great War.
