Book Overview

This vintage book contains a detailed account of the Romanoff (Romanov) family, with a particular focus on Czar Nicholas II. The House of Romanov was the second ruling Russian dynasty after the House of Rurik, reigning from 1613 until the Russian Revolution in 1917. The Romanov dynasty had 65 members at the start of 1917. By the end of it, 18 had been killed by the Bolsheviks while the remaining 47 had gone into exile abroad. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Russian history and especially the Romanov Family and the Russian Revolution of 1917.
