The tragic and shocking story of the last Tsar and his family, "Nicholas & Alexandra," is the internationally renowned biography by Pulitzer Prize-winning Robert Massie. Massie demonstrates that the young heir's personal curse of hemophilia and Rasputin's decisive influence were fatefully linked to the collapse of Imperial Russia. As a captivating narrative of one of the most dramatic episodes of the 20th century - and as an intimate portrait of two people caught in the eye of the storm - "Nicholas & Alexandra" is unlikely to ever be surpassed. 'The story of the last Tsar has probably never been told so powerfully - and so precisely' - Guardian.
