Description
The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candace Fleming The story of Russia's last royal family is one of intrigue and tragedy. Tsar Nicholas II, the wealthiest monarch in the world, ruled over 130 million people, yet turned a blind eye to the poverty of his subjects. His family, including his wife Empress Alexandra and their daughters, lived in opulence, while their son, Tsarevich Alexei, suffered in secret due to his debilitating illness. Candace Fleming masterfully weaves together the lives of the Romanovs, juxtaposing their lavish upbringing with the struggles of the Russian people. Through captivating photos and compelling first-person accounts, Fleming brings to life the events that led to the downfall of the empire and the tragic fate of its royal family.
