Peter the Great (1980) by Robert Massie. This autobiography is not only a great account of one of the most influential men that Russia ever produced, but also paints the requisite ancillary history of Russia and its neighboring kingdoms such that the full picture is better appreciated. It is turning into a short 900+ pages. Late.
