Hardback. Zustand: Good. The definitive history of the self-destruction of the autocratic Romanov dynasty. "Filled with revelations and fresh insights and rich with observations." --The Wall Street Journal In 1917, Imperial Russia faced a series of overlapping crises, from war to social unrest, that culminated in Tsar Nicholas II's dramatic fall from power.
