A Short History of the Romanovs: The Rise and Fall of Russia's Most Famous Family

A very easy, enjoyable read! It is short and to the point but that does not take away any enjoyment of this great piece of history. I found the book to be a history lesson told like a story. Well done.

I became a little obsessed with learning about Russia’s imperial history after watching a BBC production of War and Peace. This short history of the Romanov family was a pleasure for me to read. It’s thoroughly researched, well written, and really interesting.

It's good to know where Ivan the Terrible, Catherine the Great, and Nicholas the Bloody got their names from. Also reading about Rasputin is interesting. This is a great short history book to keep you entertained!

Romanovs are a fascinating family. Of particular interest now given what is happening in Europe. Great read.

I would have loved to have seen photos too but I especially enjoyed the information on the imposter princess. I always wondered what happened. Will always be a mystery and the information on missing romanoff jewels….. would be amazing if they were found someday!

no photos and an obviously bat and switch. like selling Sound of Music and cutting out all the songs. too blatant a fraud. must follow-up

Interesting and easy to read, the author has a good writing style. Highly recommend.
