What Members Thought
Rounding's biography of Catherine the Great, former Empress of Russia, is a long, but compelling and objective read. Rounding used painstaking research, most of it first hand, to give a detailed view of Catherine's life as a young child through the day of her death. She also added an Epilogue, which provides a nice, brief summary of how the rest of the Romanov family of rulers hailed until their reign came to an end when Nicholas II's family was assasinated.
