520    As a young guardsman, Grigory Potemkin caught the eye of 
       Catherine the Great with a theatrical act of gallantry 
       during the coup that placed her on the throne. Over the 
       next thirty years he would become her lover, co-ruler, and
       husband in a secret marriage that left room for both to 
       satisfy their sexual appetites. Potemkin proved to be one 
       of the most brilliant statesmen of the eighteenth century,
       helping Catherine expand the Russian empire and deftly 
       manipulating allies and adversaries from Constantinople to
       London. This biography vividly re-creates Potemkin's 
       outsized character and accomplishments and restores him to
       his rightful place as a colossus of the eighteenth 
       century. It chronicles the tempestuous relationship 
       between Potemkin and Catherine, a remarkable love affair 
       between two strong personalities that helped shape the 
       course of history. As he brings these characters to life, 
       Montefiore also tells the story of the creation of the 
       Russian empire.
