Peter the Great by Lindsey Hughes

This is a biography of Peter the Great. It tells his life story in 12 chapters, including two final chapters on his legacy and posthumous reputation, with the aim of providing a vivid sense of the dynamics of his life and reign.
"In her splendid new biography, Lindsey Hughes deconstructs these mythic images and brings us closer to the true face of the Tsar" Orlando Figes, Sunday Telegraph; "This book will likely become a standard for scholars and students who want a short but comprehensive account of Peter the Great." Publishers Weekly"
Lindsey Hughes is professor of Russian history at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London. She is also the author of the classic work Russia in the Age of Peter the Great.
