Told with scrupulous historical accuracy and stunning narrative power, Nicholas and Alexandra is a masterpiece of the biographer's art. The bestseller is now released in a trade paperback edition with a new Introduction by its Pulitzer Prize-winning author. \nA magnificent and intimate (Harper's) modern classic of Russian history, the spellbinding story of the love that ended an empire--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Peter the Great, The Romanovs, and Catherine the Great \nA moving, rich book . . . [This] revealing, densely documented account of the last Romanovs focuses not on the great events . . . but on the royal family and their evil nemesis. . . . The tale is so bizarre, no melodrama is equal to it.--Newsweek \n \nIn this commanding book, New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Massie sweeps readers back to the extraordinary world of the Russian empire to tell the story of the Romanovs' lives: Nicholas's political naïveté, Alexandra's obsession with the corrupt mystic Rasputin, and little Alexis's brave struggle with hemophilia. Against a lavish backdrop of luxury and intrigue, Massie unfolds a powerful drama of passion and history--the story of a doomed empire and the death-marked royals who watched it crumble.\n
