The Romanovs were the most successful dynasty of modern times,
ruling a sixth of the world's surface. How did one family turn a
war-ruined principality into the world's greatest empire? And how
did they lose it all? This is the intimate story of twenty tsars
and tsarinas, some touched by genius, some by madness, but all
inspired by holy autocracy and imperial ambition. Montefiore's
gripping chronicle reveals their secret world of unlimited power
and ruthless empire-building, overshadowed by palace conspiracy,
family rivalries, sexual decadence and wild extravagance, and
peopled by a cast of adventurers, courtesans, revolutionaries and
poets. Written with dazzling literary flair, drawing on new
archival research, THE ROMANOVS is at once an enthralling chronicle
of triumph and tragedy, love and death, a universal study of power,
and an essential portrait of the empire that still defines Russia
today.
