Summary: Eugh..
Review: While the photographs are excellent, the text is awful. Peter Kurth, who most likely was influenced by stupid stories from his friend Francizka Shanzkowska, pretty much bashes Nicholas, Alexandra, and even their children. For those who are Romanov buffs, I for one found the text rather irritating...and, of course, since it's Kurth, he had to draw out the whole Anna Anderson affair. Alas, this had a chance for being good, but with so much negative stuff written about pretty much everyone that's written about (many comments about how the Imperial Family were all just a collection of idiots and how the children could barely speak Russian, English or any of the other languages they knew, etc), well, it goes down the tube fom there.
