Catherine the Great by Michael Streeter
The daughter of a minor German princely family, she rose to become the greatest ruler of a vast Russian empire in the 18th century. This biography reveals a remarkable woman who combined intelligence, a passion for the responsibilities of state with a constant search for the love of important men.
'It was Catherine the Great's formidable persona, plus an enquiring intellect.. that helped to drag Russia into the 18th century. Michael Streeter scotches some of the grosser rumours that surrounded her and retells, with assurance, the tale of that extraordinary woman.' -- Seven Sunday Telegraph
Michael Streeter has been the news editor of the Independent on Sunday as well as the editor of the scottish Daily Express. He has written books on the history of witchcraft, internet crime and a biography of Franco.
