This is such a well-written book.  I've read several lengthy books about the Romanov family and I'm in awe of the brevity, yet thoroughness of this story.  I really appreciated the fact that the author did NOT go back 300 years to explain the entire Romanov family.  The author took us back enough to understand what the Romanov's believed and how they viewed ruling.

Nicholas II was a good man who was a poor leader. This book explains clearly his misunderstanding of the Russian people and his inability to look outside himself or his inner circle for solutions.  He was blessed with an able partner but the two of them were used to autocratic rule, not compromise.

This book explains that in 1991 when the USSR collapsed, the true info about the deaths of the Romanovs would be revealed.  In 2000, the Russian Orthodox Church officially canonized the Romanov family as saints.

This book is exceptional in that it explains complex thoughts and ideas in a straightforward way, which makes for an easy understanding of a complex time.
