Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A well-written, human study of an intensely-loving family's privileged and sometimes tragic lives; the story's denouement serves as an object lesson about the deadly, diabolical dangers inherent in bolshevism, communism, and even socialism: this is Nicholas and Alexandra, by Robert K. Massie
