Discuss About Books The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion, and the Fall of Imperial Russia

I didnt realize this was a YA history book when I checked the ebook out from the library. But I dont regret reading it.

And thirdly and the most heartbreaking part is the personal stories of the peasants, the men and

(Major understatement here....but) sheeeeesh that was rough.

Wow, did the animated Anastasia lie to me...

Wow.This was just superb. I kept hearing buzz so I picked it up at the library to just look through it and check out the pictures (there are two sections of photographs) and ended up fully engrossed, reading it from cover to cover in a day. I knew the facts of the Russian Revolution, and that the tsar and his family were murdered and the bodies lost and Rasputin was real weird and so on and so forth, but this takes you beyond the facts. Fleming paints a fascinating picture of Russia at the
