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. A spellbinding labor of love, but not for the faint of heart. And such a sad end of a dynasty, unable to stop the historical forces which erupted in the last 150 years. Montefiore has also written about Catherine the Great, Jerusalem, and Stalin. His books are published in more than forty languages.
