ISBN10: 1563240475, ISBN13: 9781563240478, [publisher: M.E. Sharpe] Hardcover This exciting and psychologically penetrating account of the life and rule of Russia's eighteenth-century tsar-reformer develops an important theme. What happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than a larger goal of human emancipation? What was the price of power - for Russia, and for Peter himself? Evgenii V. Anisimov's provocative history of Peter thus asks important questions with special resonance today. Ex-Libris and is stamped as such. Boards are moderately bowed, but not severely. Moderate edgewear on the boards. Moderate shelf wear.
