Nicholas and Alexandra: The Classic Account of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty by Robert K. Massie

5.0

Fascinating biography of events I was previously only vaguely aware. The lives of the Romanovs are made real using actual excerpts from letters between Nicholas and Alexandra. I read this as a casual read and not for any research reason. As a result I lost track of some of the names of characters (I didn't feel any need to go do research to remind me) but nonetheless I didn't feel that it took away from the impact it had on my new understanding of the lives of the Romanovs and the events that framed their fate.
