Nicholas and Alexandra

From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert K. Massie, a New York Times bestseller, comes a "magnificent and intimate" (Harper's) modern classic of Russian history. This meticulously documented account chronicles the lives of Russia's last imperial family, the Romanovs, and the fall of an empire. Massie delves into Tsar Nicholas II's political naïveté, Tsarina Alexandra's fateful obsession with the mystic Rasputin, and their son Alexis's brave struggle with hemophilia. Against a lavish backdrop of intrigue, this powerful drama explores the personal tragedy and fatal decisions that led to the collapse of a dynasty.
