This book is by far one of the best Romanov books out there. It's a rather big book and it is filled with wonderful photographs of the family. There are also many photos of the grand palaces in which the family lived their lives. The text is also very good on certain levels. Peter Kurth tells the story of the last Russian Imperial family with great detail right up to the very end. This is a must read and no Romanov library is complete without it.

A wonderful compilation of photographs...
...with an excellent accompanying text. The photos a generally well-presented and wonderfully-selected. The book as a whole presents to the reader a family that is at once normal and extraordinary, silly and stately, casual and imperial, joyful and tragic. Great for the coffee table.
