Simon Sebag Montefiore, "The Romanovs"

www.politics-pr...
His latest book, The Romanovs, draws on newly available archival material to chronicle three centuries of Romanov rule; profiling leaders such as Catherine the Great, Alexander II, Nicholas II, as well as their more obscure-but no less colorful-relatives and advisors, Montefiore vividly portrays the dynamics of court life and the complexities of dynastic politics.
