The Romanovs: 1613-1918

"Epic history on the grandest scale. . . . Game of ThronesÂ seems like the proverbial vicar's tea party in comparison."â€”Financial Times

The Romanovs were the most successful dynasty of modern times, ruling a sixth of the worldâ€™s surface for three centuries. How did one family turn a war-ruined principality into the worldâ€™s greatest empire? And how did they lose it all?
Â
This is the intimate story of twenty tsars and tsarinas, some touched by genius, some by madness, but all inspired by holy autocracy and imperial ambition. Simon Sebag Montefioreâ€™s gripping chronicle reveals their secret world of unlimited power and ruthless empire-building, overshadowed by palace conspiracy, family rivalries, sexual decadence, and wild extravagance.
Â
Drawing on new archival research, Montefiore delivers an enthralling epic of triumph and tragedy, love and murder, that is both a universal study of power and a portrait of empire that helps define Russia today.
