The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion & the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candace Fleming
5.0
Rating: 5.0
Seriously, talk about a self fulfilling prophecy. Either the Russian aristocracy was heartless or they were stupid, either way, I loved how the author wrote about both Nicholas and his dysfunctional, but loving, family, and the horrifying conditions and terrible living experienced by the peasants and working class. (Not trying to poke a hornet's nest, but no wonder they revolted.) The authors' writing was both sympathetic and frank which I really enjoyed and was a nice way to read a non-fiction book.
