From the Modern Library's new set of beautifully repackaged
hardcover classics by Robert K. Massie--also available are "Peter
the Great "and "The Romanovs"
In this commanding book, Robert K. Massie, prize-winning author of
"Catherine the Great, " sweeps readers back to the extraordinary
world of Imperial Russia to tell the story of the Romanovs' lives:
Nicholas's political naivete, Alexandra's obsession with the
corrupt mystic Rasputin, and little Alexis's brave struggle with
hemophilia. Against a lavish backdrop of luxury and intrigue,
Massie unfolds a powerful drama of passion and history--the story
of a doomed empire and the death-marked royals who watched it
crumble.
