A timely and important book . . . he brings to it rare clarity and common sense. His book is a fast-paced account of the last sixteen months of the tsars life; brief, sharp, but laced with well-judged feeling for the dramas of the time. Catherine Merridale, Observer

Drawing on the Tsars own diaries and 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.
