A well written history of the reigns and families of Emperors Alexander II and III. It's good to read something that talks about the lesser known members of the family, not just Nicholas and Alexandra and their children. Somehow surprising that the last child of Alexander II survived until 1959 - a yawning gap between two vastly different worlds. ( )
