SynopsisThis book covers the lives of eighty members of the Romanov Dynasty between 1913-1919. The cast of characters is thus immense. For the ease of readers, we have divided these Romanovs into their eight respective branches. The Emperor headed the premier line, the Nikolaievich branch, which consisted of himself, his wife, and his children. There were seven Grand Ducal branches (Alexandrovich, Vladimirovich, Sergeievich, Pavlovich, Nikolaievich, Konstantinovich, and Mikhailovich), three junior branches (Oldenburg, Leuchtenberg, and Mecklenburg), and the five Grand Duchesses who had entered into foreign marriages. To further help identify our subjects, we have freely used patronymics in an effort to avoid confusion between those with identical Christian names.
Very disappointed. This book is just a rehash of information from other books by the authors. Nothing detailed, just brief information about each member of each branch of the Romanov family.
I am surprised this book is the work of Greg King and Penny Wilson. Their work is usually far better than this. I own several books by them and have always been so pleased.
In a nutshell:
If you have read extensively about the Romanovs, save your money.
If you have never read about the Romanovs, this book would be a good introduction to the family.
