Item description from seller

A second printing in Very Good condition wiht rubbing to the board edges, soiling to the surfaces and some age toning in an alike dust-jacket with light soiling and wear to the trim; Peter the Great is the story of one man's determination to make his country the greatest in the world. Born in 1729, Peter was the son of a peasant farmer turned Czarist general. After serving in the army and becoming a successful bureaucrat, he was appointed governor of Moscow in 1755. Under his leadership, Moscow became a metropolis of great beauty and wealth. Peter's desire to make Russia a superpower led to many ambitious projects, including the construction of a new capital city, St. Petersburg, and the modernization of the Russian army. But Peter's greatest achievement was his transformation of Russia into a modern, secular society.; 8vo; 384 pages; TBC.
