Description

The Last of the Tsars: Nicholas II and the Russian Revolution by Robert Service In March 1917, Nicholas II's reign came to an abrupt end as he abdicated, marking the beginning of the end for the Romanov dynasty. This masterful study examines the last year of his rule and the months that followed, shedding light on a man who was out of his depth. Drawing on previously unseen contemporary records, including the Tsar's own diaries, Service reveals a complex picture of Nicholas II's final days. Against this backdrop of revolution and social upheaval, he explores the events leading up to the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 and the establishment of Lenin's Soviet republic. Through meticulous research, Service provides a compelling account of the tumultuous period that saw Russia's monarchy crumble and a new era of communist rule begin.
