Description and Table of Contents
Description
Nicholas II, the last tsar of all the Russians, remains a haunting and enigmatic figure, surrounded by myth and speculation. As a young man he dreamed of travel, of seeing the world, until forced by his father's death and a strong sense of duty into a role he did not want and for which he was ill-equipped. Dominated by his wife, Alexandra, herself greatly influenced by the monk Rasputin, his reign covers the period from the war with Japan, through World War I, until the 1917 Revolution and his forced abdication and subsequent death at the hands of the revolutionaries.
