Nicholas and Alexandra: An Intimate Account of the Last of the Romanovs and the Fall of Imperial Russia

xvii, [1], 584, [4] pp. 8vo. Includes section of black-and-white photographs. "The House of Romanov was the second and last imperial dynasty of Russia, which ruled the country from 1613 to 1917. From 1762 until the February Revolution of 1917, the Russian Empire was ruled for five generations by a line of the House of Oldenburg descended from the marriage of a Romanov grand duchess to the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. This line was officially also called Romanov, although genealogists sometimes style it, more accurately, Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov."
