Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman

O: The Oprah Magazine called this "Meticulously, dramatically rendered." From the publisher: "The Pulitzer Prize–winning author returns with another masterpiece of narrative biography, the extraordinary story of an obscure German princess who became one of the most remarkable, powerful, and captivating women in history. She dealt with domestic rebellion, foreign wars, and the tidal wave of political change and violence churned up by the French Revolution. Catherine's family, friends, ministers, generals, lovers, and enemies—all are here, vividly brought to life. History offers few stories richer than that of Catherine the Great."
