The Romanovs

This book is an intimate and gripping chronicle of the Romanov dynasty, covering three centuries of their rule.

It delves into the lives of twenty tsars and tsarinas, revealing their secret world of unlimited power, ruthless empire-building, palace conspiracies, family rivalries, and sexual decadence.

The narrative spans from Ivan the Terrible to Nicholas II, including key figures like Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, and culminates with the tragic end of the Romanov family during the Russian Revolution.

Montefiore's work is based on new archival research and provides a vivid portrait of the Romanovs, their court life, and the dynamics of power that defined their reign.
