      Synopsis

      Part Two Of Two Parts

      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.

      "Massie gives the tantalizing what-ifs of history a full airing in this satisfying follow-up to PETER THE GREAT, another acknowledged master-work." (Journal of Literary Reviews)

      Annotation

      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. Photo insert.

      February 26, 2009: And I loved it!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 35th birthday present to me from a dear friend and I cried at the end. I can't believe what happened to the Romanovs. I read this book in a matter of days. I couldn't put it down. It has inspired an excitement in me to learn more of european history which has always interested me. Massie wrote so well I couldn't tell I was learning history. I loved it so much that I do find my self still, after a couple of months since I read it, thinking about them and wishing things hadn't ended so tragically for them.
