4.0 out of 5 stars
An almost thorough account of Russia's last tsar.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nicholas II: The Life and Reign of Russia's Last Monarch (Hardcover)
Warth titles this work "The Life and Reign of Russia's Last Monarch." But it must truly be noted that not a great deal of substance is given to Nicholas II's early life, prior to ascending the throne. Chapter one devotes little time to exploring the early life of Nicholas II. The rest of the book seemed very comprehensive, especially regarding the subject of the Russo-Japanese war. The Stolypin era was also fitting of an entire chapter dedicated to it. Although, I would have liked to have more detail on Rasputin and the role that his association may have ultimately played with the tsar's downfall, it was overall a well written biography of Russia's last tsar. If anything a human side of Nicholas is shown, even if that human side is riddled with stubborness and general distrust in the majority of his advisors.
