Boards lightly soiled. 1971 Hard Cover. 288 pp. With colour photographs specially taken in Russia by Victor Kennett. "The Romanov dynasty, which ruled Russia from 1613 to 1917, included some of the most bizarre, scandalous, violent and tragic figures of history. Miss Cowles, who has already published two books on the latter days of the Tsars, presents now a portrait gallery of the outstanding members of this almost incredible family, cutting away the mass of obscure and unfamiliar historical detail which surrounds them, and studying each one individually as a human personality.
