The Romanovs: 1613-1918

Product Description

The Romanovs: 1613-1918. Well-received and well-reviewed mammoth overview of three centuries of the Romanovs by Cambridge-educated historian S. Montefiore, who combines rigorous intellectual scholarship with the storyteller talents of a novelist, which is apt, since The Romanovs reads stranger than fiction. And such a dramatic end to the dynasty, unable to control the historical forces and changes that occurred during the 150 years, or so, that led up to 1918. Montefiore is a prolific writer, who has written about Catherine the Great, Jerusalem, and Stalin. His books are published in more than forty languages.
