"...physically dazzling...gorgeously illustrated."
— New York Times Book Review

Their tragedy still haunts the world. Now, almost ninety years after the execution of the last tsar and his family, the full story of the last Romanovs — including their reburial in 1998 — is told as never before in this definitive illustrated history. The evocative text by Peter Kurth, author of Anastasia: The Riddle of Anna Anderson, describes the private life of the royal family during the twilight years of the Romanov dynasty, while family photographs and dazzling contemporary pictures of their homes and haunts offer a glimpse into a vanished era. More than ten years after its original publication, this magnificent volume continues to captivate a worldwide audience.
