Featuring a new introduction by its Pulitzer Prize -- winning author, this powerful work sweeps us back to the extraordinary world of Imperial Russia to tell the story of the Romanovs' lives: Nicholas's political naivete, Alexandra's obsession with the corrupt mystic Rasputin, and little Alexis's brave struggle with hemophilia. Against a lavish backdrop of luxury and intrigue, Robert K. Massie unfolds a powerful drama of passion and history -- the story of a doomed empire and the death-marked royals who watched it crumble. 000292518 5831_ $$acommitted to retain$$c20150501$$dretention period not specified$$fALI SP$$5InES 000292518 60000 $$aNicholas$$bII,$$cEmperor of Russia,$$d1868-1918. 000292518 60000 $$aAlexandra,$$cEmpress, consort of Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia,$$d1872-1918. 000292518 651_0 $$aRussia$$xHistory$$y1801-1917. 000292518 85200 $$bgen$$hDK258$$i.M3$$i2000 000292518 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:292518$$pGLOBAL_SET 000292518 980__ $$aBIB 000292518 980__ $$aBOOK 000292518 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
