In these thrilling, highly readable pages, we meet Rasputin, the shaggy, lecherous mystic...; we visit the gilded ballrooms of the doomed aristocracy; and we pause in the sickroom of little Alexei, the hemophiliac heir who, with his parents and four sisters, would be murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918.&rdquo; &mdash;<i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br> &#160;<br> Here is the tumultuous, heartrending, true story of the Romanovs&mdash;at once an intimate portrait of Russia's last royal family and a gripping account of its undoing.
