A review by dimitribelgium
Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie

4.0

The keyword to Massie, whose son also suffered from hemophilia, is sympathy. Even Bolshevik guards warmed to the tender family life of the Tsar who'd been a good constitutional monarch, but was unwilling until too late to reform his inherited autocracy.

Written like a glittering painting, this is not factual history but a bard's tale.
