Author Description

This volume draws on a wealth of previously unpublished material to tell the tragic story of the last of the Romanovs as it has never been told before. With more than 630 irreplaceable works of art, costumes, photographs, and private and state documents, and drawing from Nicholas and Alexandra's own personal letters and diaries, it reveals their luxurious world and loving family life - and the horrors of their final years - in moving and compelling detail. Nicholas & Alexandra accompanies an exhibition of the largest collection of imperial family treasures ever to leave Russia. Then, in reproductions of original documents from the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the private world of Nicholas and Alexandra is unveiled.
