In March 1917, Nicholas II, the last Tsar of All the Russias, abdicated & the dynasty that had ruled an empire for three hundred years was forced from power by revolution.

In this masterful & forensic study, Robert Service examines the last year Nicholass reign & the months between that momentous abdication & his death, with his family, in Ekaterinburg in July 1918.

Drawing on the Tsars own diaries & other hitherto unexamined contemporary records, The Last of the Tsars reveals a man who was almost entirely out of his depth, perhaps even willfully so.

It is also a compelling account of the social, economic & political foment in Russia in the aftermath of Alexander Kerenskys February Revolution, the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 & the beginnings of Lenins Soviet republic.
