The Battle of Poltava, 1709, marks the birth of Peter the Greats vast Russian Empire. When forces defeated King Charles XII of Sweden in 1708, it proved the collapse of the Swedish Empire and the rise of Russia. Englunds vivid account of violent days of battle is an internationally acclaimed classic of military history.
