A superbly crafted and humane portrait of the final days of the last Romanovs – Nicholas II of Russia and his wife Alexandra.Complementing his Pulitzer prize-winning Peter the Great, in this commanding book Robert K. Massie sweeps readers back to the extraordinary world of imperial Russia to tell the story of the decline and fall of the ruling Romanov family: Tsar Nicholas II’s political naivete; his wife Alexandra’s obsession with the corrupt mystic Rasputin; and their son Alexis’s battle with haemophilia.Against a lavish backdrop of luxury and intrigue, Massie unfolds a family tragedy played out on the brutal stage of early twentieth-century Russian history – the tale of a doomed empire and the death-marked royals who watched it crumble.

In this internationally famous biography, Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Massie shows how the personal curse of Nicholas’ haemophilia, and the decisive influence it brought Rasputin, became fatally linked with the collapse of imperial Russia.
