Reviews

There is lots new in this superb biography . . . [Dixon] manages to be scholarly, refreshing, commonsensical and compelling, vividly portraying the charismatic Empress and her times. --Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Sashenka and Young Stalin

Like Catherine herself, Simon Dixon's new biography is attractive, engaging, and very intelligent. It wears its scholarship lightly, too, but established fans of the Russian empress will find plenty of new material and those who are meeting her for the first time will be dazzled. -- Catherine Merridale, author of Ivan's War and Night of Stone: Death and Memory in Russia
