5.0 out of 5 stars
A microscopic look at the royal family.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirteen Years at the Russian Court (Russia Observed) (Hardcover)
Gilliard was the tutor for the five royal children,
so this is a very intimate portrait of their lives from
about 1909 or so until they died. He went with them when
they were imprisoned and along with several other servents
was separated from the family when they reached
Ekaterenburg. The book has a lot of information in it and is
a good first-person account of life with the family. The
pictures are a bit muddy however, which is more the fault
of the publisher than the original print.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic look into the lives of the last Russian Royals.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirteen Years at the Russian Court (Russia Observed) (Hardcover)
This book goes into fantastic detail about the children of Tsar Nicholas II. Mr. Gilliard was the private tutor of the children. More importantly it tells of the family's last days. A must read for anyone interested in Russian history.

This review is from: Thirteen Years at the Russian Court (Russia Observed) (Hardcover)
I read this book, here in Brazil.This book is available, for free reading, on internet's site.Even being an agronomist, I love to read historic books.
This book was writen more than 80 years ago.The author was a doctor, working in last russian court.The despair of a doctor treating, the royal prince who had hemophilia.Even with so many care, at that time, hemophilia was cureless, painfull and in many times, also mortal illness.So cureless as prince's hemophilia was, the last Tzar's incompetence.This book is concise, very easy to read and even similar to a novel, this is 100% true and historic book.The last chapters of this book are about the author's history after the Tzar's family, being murdered.Everything in this book is true.And this book is unbiased and correct.
