So highly coloured was Catherine"s private life that it has often distracted attention from her remarkable professional statecraft. Dr de Madariaga, the doyenne of Catherine the Great scholars in the West, redresses the balance in this authoritative and substantial account of Catherine"s personality, her politics and the nature of the Russia she ruled.
