Life of Alexander II: Emperor of all the Russias

By F.R. Grahame

Book Overview

Emperor Alexander II ascended the throne of Russia in 1855. His reign was noted for the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, earning him the title of 'Tsar Liberator', and for a victorious war against Turkey in 1877-78. His last years were overshadowed by several attempts on his life, culminating in his assassination in 1881. F.R. Grahame's life, the first in English, was published in 1883. This new illustrated edition includes a Foreword by John Van der Kiste.
