Nicholas and Alexandra: The Classic Account of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty
A Random House trade paperback reissue of Robert K. Massie's 1967 account, the book that made the Romanovs an American household reference. Massie writes with the confidence of a journalist who has decided that the family drama explains the revolution, which is debatable but never dull. The pages are dense with anecdote and the occasional purple patch. The cover is the standard Random House trade look: dignified, slightly dated, reassuringly thick. Random House has kept it in print because the demand remains steady, not because the scholarship has gone unchallenged. Ideal reader: the history reader who prefers characters to systems, and who is willing to overlook a little aristocratic nostalgia.
