Russian history

Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie is a classic 1967 biography detailing the lives of Russia's last Tsar, Nicholas II, and his wife, Alexandra, focusing on their family, political failures, and the influence of their hemophiliac son, Alexei, and the mystic Rasputin, which Massie argues contributed to the fall of the Russian Empire. The book is praised for its dramatic storytelling, rich historical detail, and personal insight, stemming from Massie's own experience with his son's hemophilia, and it became the basis for a 1971 film.
