Query: Peter the Great or Peter the Long!

I'm more than half way into this tome and look forward to the end. Not that it isn't fascinating and full of facts, it's just a little repetitive at times and prone to lengthy asides about characters other than Peter the Great. That said, I can't put it down but then I have always been drawn to books about military campaigns, and there's lots of that here. It was not a kind period of history and this book is not for the squeamish. It is, however, amazingly well researched. The detail is incredible.
