Description

pp. 462, black and white photographs. “The Last Tsar is a factual and well-written book on the life and death of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Replete with both historical and familial details, it reads like a well-plotted, well-characterized fiction novel. One reviewer says;”The book, however, is all the more horrifying and heartbreaking because it is true. Unlike some of the previous reviewers, I enjoyed Radzinsky’s writing style and consider him to be the ultimate authority on all matters Romanov. The only book more factual may be Nicholas and Alexandra, A Lifelong Passion which consists solely of the family’s letters. The Last Tsar is definitely a must read for those interested in Romanov Russia and a book that will be enjoyable to all.” One must be fascinated with the authors access to Communist archives that let him reconstruct how and why the Bolshevik leadership decided on killing Nicholas as they did.”previous owners address label on fep and inscription on verso of front cover
