Massie offers a moving, tragic, and unforgettable account of
the extraordinary Imperial dynasty of Tsar Nicholas II, his
doomed empire, and a revolution that would inexorably change
the world forever. "A larger than life drama."--Saturday
Review. Nicholas and Alexandra were the last of the Romanovs,
remembered by us today chiefly as the parents who with their
four daughters and son were murdered by the Bolsheviks. The times were not propitious when Nicholas came to power.
It is doubtful Nicholas could have survived the times, even
with luck, but fate seemed against him. His son's hemophilia
was a great burden; worse was Rasputin, an unprincipled
Siberian mystic. On top of it all came the great war in
1914. When Russian armies suffered staggering defeats, the
whole structure began to crumble
