Secret Lives of the Tsars: Three Centuries of Autocracy, Debauchery, Betrayal, Murder, and Madness from Romanov Russia by Michael Farquhar
4.0
Wow, those Russians were a rough bunch.....no shortage of debauchery, betrayal, murder and madness, and when you think you've read it all, there's more.
A really interesting fun read, if you're not to squeamish. Not like the author gets graphic with his descriptions, but those guys were no shrinking violets. If you have a vivid imagination, you will cringe like I did, while reading.
The tone of the book is factual and more like story telling, without sensationalizing or going for shock value. I recommend this book.
