The first popular biography of Catherine the Great based on contemporary scholarship, Alexander's volume provides a vivid portrait of Catherine as an extremely savvy ruler. Concentrating on her long reign (1762-96), he examines all aspects of Catherine's life and career, including her brilliant political strategies which won her the acceptance of a nationalistic elite, her expansive foreign policy, the domestic reforms she used to revamp the Russian military, political structure, and economy, and, of course, her infamous love life.
