The Last Tsar

Rating:
Summary: Very nice book
Review: Larissa Yermilova's book, The Last Tsar, captured, through its many extremely rare photographs of earlier Tsars, Tsar Alexander II, Tsar Alexander III, and the last Tsar, Nicholas II, the sheer majesty of the Romanov house and the opulence of the life of the family. The only reason I did not give the book a five star was because of various slight mistakes and the fact that in the captions, Ms. Yermilova did not mention all of names of the people in the photographs.

Summary: Very nice book
Review: This book is principly a photographic essay of the Romanov dynasty in the 19th century. The title is misleading, because you get the impression that it is all about Nicholas 2nd. However, a large chunk of this book is also devoted to earlier reigns.

Full of clear and uncommon photos of the Romanov dynasty, this book is worth buying if you have any interest in the last imperial family of Russia. I covers not just Nicholas and his family but also other memebers of the extended Romanov clan, his parents etc.

Reccomnded.
