Grey, Ian

Ivan the terrible Ian Grey - New York J. B. Lippincott Company 1964 - 258 p.

Includes Bibliography and Index

The haunted life of Ivan of Russia resembles a Greek tragedy, and this biography gives that life its full measure of accomplishments and crimes, fateful events, and terror. The fascination which Ivan the Terrible exercises on the imagination now, four centuries after his death, lies partly in the extremes and partly in the depths of his character. He acted without moderation, and the horrors of his reign have obscured the achievements and the greatness of the man.
