A review by binstonbirchill
Nicholas And Alexandra by Robert K. Massie
5.0
Nicholas and Alexandra, the last of the Romanovs. World War I, Lenin and the Revolution. The boy with hemophilia, whose illness brought the most peculiar of men into the Imperial Court, Rasputin.
This biography presents a clear picture of Russia during the end of the Romanov empire. Massie delves into politics, war, culture, religion, family and illness without bogging down into mind-numbing textbook recitation of facts. History at it's finest. The story is uniquely Russian, both bizarre and tragic.
