Five stars for the story and two stars for the format. Peter Massie has a way of describing historical events so vividly they seem like eye-witness accounts, and in many cases he is basing his narrations on diaries, letters, and other first-hand accounts, but he also adds very detailed descriptions of architecture, dress, and other artifacts that bring every scene to life. He also helps us experience what it was like to live in a world where everyday life included conditions and mores very different from our own. Peter himself had a capricious personality that could veer wildly from kindness and generosity to a petulant cruelty that set everyone around him on edge. It was amusing to see how his attempts to force citizens to behave in a certain way through threats of confiscation of property, torture, or even execution only made people more adept at hiding things or running away, not more obedient. Peter may have been a visionary who managed to accomplish great things, but we can see in our own day the disastrous results of taking him as a role model.
