The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion & the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candace Fleming
4.0
I have to say, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting...from the main title I was thinking a little more Romanov, a little less big picture history.
However, Fleming managed to never stray into the realm of dense history, and by including passages from peasants and the working class, she really created a big picture that was balanced and not overwhelming. Readers really got a sense of the disparity of wealth that lead to the fall of the Romanovs.
