Nicholas & Alexandra

The tragic, compelling story of the last Tsar and his family

A true classic - this is a powerfully engrossing account of the last Tsar of Russia 'The fall of the Romanovs is a subject of compelling interest and Mr Massie's treatment of it reads with the power of a novel' TES 'A superb book ... an exquisite story of love and compassion' The Times 'A rattling good story ... Mr Massie describes, in lavish detail, the magnificent life of the court of St Petersburg: the opulent palaces, the great balls, the fantastic jewels ... But Mr Massie's is by no means only an exotic guidebook ... he has a serious historical thesis to propound ... I have never seen it argued with such wealth of medical and historical detail' Spectator 'A magnificent and intimate picture ... Not only the main characters, but the whole era become alive and comprehensible' Harpers Magazine

Nicholas & Alexandra is the internationally famous biography from Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Massie. Massie shows conclusively how the personal curse of the young heir's haemophilia, and the decisive influence it brought Rasputin, became fatally linked with the collapse of Imperial Russia.

As an engrossing account of one of the century's most dramatic episodes—and an intimate portrait of two people caught at the centre of a maelstrom—Nicholas & Alexandra is unlikely ever to be surpassed.

'The story of the last Tsar has probably never been so powerfully—and so accurately—told' - Guardian
