Massie's Grand Tours of Russia Truly Sparkle
Robert K. Massie is the reigning dean of Russian imperial history, one of the very best historical writers on the 20th and 21st centuries. His books are brilliantly researched, wonderfully well organized, and astonishingly well written. "The Final Chapter" is comprehensive and exhaustive as a follow-up to his "Nicholas and Alexandra" and "The Romanovs", which really are truly definitive. In all of them the original historical research and brilliant writing style truly shine. Still, my favorites among his books are "Catherine the Great" and especially "Peter the Great" — which, like his books on the Romanovs (and even more so) pay close attention to the smaller and more personal aspects of his subjects' interests and priorities, such as Catherine's correspondence with and charity to leading lights of the French intelligentsia, her passionate collecting of at and literature, and her commissioning of Falconet's"Broze Horseman" statue of Peter the Great; Peter's devotion to shipbuilding and ivory-turning; and Nicholas and Alexandra's letter-writing and diary keeping (in English). I very highly recommend "The Romanov's: The Final Chapter", but suggest that one read it only after reading "The Romanovs" and "Nicholas and Alexandra."Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great book; tells a true story without any fandangling whatsoever.
This book is undoubtedly the best book on the market detailing the sad end of the Romanovs, including the two parents and all five children. It is not a pretty picture, but far better to know what and how it happened than to simply "wonder" about it. My personal feeling is that Nicholas Romanov might have avoided such a horrific ending if he'd been a little bit more resolute about getting his family OUT of Russia before such an ending came along. But on the other hand, he had a LOT of pressure to simply try to stay in Russia and remain at least the symbolic leader of the country. But, as we now know, nobody ever gets what they want out of communism . . . especially a symbolic leader like Nicholas. Also, Robert Massie is an outstanding historian and has written several outstanding books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
