Publisher's Summary:
Just what was so terrible about Ivan the Terrible? Most of us are familiar with this infamous nickname, but most fall short of being able to describe how he received such an ominous moniker. Maybe youve heard the stories of how Ivan killed his own son, poisoned his wives, and waged war on his neighbors, but these anecdotes are just minor details in the scheme of this mans complicated life.
Inside you will read about...
Ivan IV, otherwise known as Ivan the Terrible, was born with a heavy burden on his shoulders. He was thrust into the seat of what the Russians considered the Third Rome, granting him all the rights and privileges of the official steward of Orthodox Christian civilization in the east. In order to hold on to that right, he did indeed do some pretty terrible things.
Members Reviews:
How did Ivan the Terrible earn his name and was the name warranted?
Ivan the Terrible: A Life From Beginning to End was an interesting book. I had heard of Ivan the Terrible, but I only knew of him has a Tsar of Russia. In his early life, he was more or less locked away and brought out has necessary. When he first became Tsar, he was almost killed by the Russian people. He was pious and reformed the Russian system of government at that time. His life was somewhat tragic because the nobles constantly played palace politics. Ivan the Terrible overall didnât appear to be a very good general or he couldnât pick appropriate leadership for his military. This short synopsis of his life and career provided me with more than enough information about the man. I like the book, okay, but I have no further interest in Ivan the Terrible.
Terrible Or Not.
