Nicholas and Alexandra
About this book
"A LARGER THAN LIFE DRAMA, SO BIZARRE, SO HEART-RENDING AND, ABOVE ALL, SO APOCALYPTIC, THAT NO NOVELIST WOULD HAVE DARED INVENT IT"
—Saturday Review Syndicate
The story of the Tsar, his Empress, and the realm they lost. The story of a man, a woman, and the love they shared—and of the obscene monk, Rasputin, who corrupted and destroyed them.
"A WONDERFULLY RICH TAPESTRY, the colors fresh and clear, every strand sewn in with a sure hand. Mr. Massie describes those strange and terrible years with sympathy and understanding . . . they come vividly before our eyes"
—N.Y. Times
"A MAGNIFICENT AND INTIMATE PICTURE . . . Not only the main characters but a whole era become alive and comprehensible"
—Harper's Magazine
With 16 pages of rare photographs
