Publisher: Knopf

An extremely detailed history of the final years of the monarchy, beginning with a brief resume of the steps towards reform prior to Nicholas II. The actual story starts with his marriage and traces the tumultuous years of their reign, treated with an able historian's precision, the result of familiarity with the country and the people. The book is not for the general reader but makes a definite contribution to scholarship.
