Forest green boards with gilt spine lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket with white lettering. "All of the important topics about the single individual who did more to affect the course of imperial Russian history than any other are covered here in remarkable detail: Peter the Great's establishment of Russia as a military power with his victory in the Great Northern War; his creation of the Table of Ranks, the basis of Russia's famous bureaucracy; his Westernization campaign. Hughes, a professor of Russian history at the University of London, leaves no stone unturned as she describes how Peter attempted to 'modernize' Russia." -FirstSearch.
