What a mess,

This review is from: Catherine the Great (Profiles in Power) (Paperback)
That this book is part of the same Profiles in Power series as Hartley's Alexander I and Carwardine's Lincoln simply boggles the mind. Was the editor on vacation?
The best part of the book is the cover, featuring a painting of Catherine. Unfortunately, the book is not even worth opening. Academics like what is called a "review of the literature," in which they survey what has previously been written on a subject. This book is nothing but such a review. The book is very short with short chapters with a massive bibliography at the end of each chapter. Just what is the author's take on Catherine? Well, there isn't one. He just reviews and reviews. This book undermines the credibility for reading Profiles books in the future. |
