O knihe

This vintage book contains a detailed account of the Romanoff (Romanov) family, with a particular focus on Czar Nicholas II. The House of Romanov was the second ruling Russian dynasty after the House of Rurik, reigning from 1613 until the Russian Revolution in 1917. The Romanov dynasty had 65 members at the start of 1917. By the end of it, 18 had been killed by the Bolsheviks while the remaining 47 had gone into exile abroad. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Russian history and especially the Romanov Family and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Contents include: "Northern Ambition", "The Greek Church", "Charles the Twelfth", "Frederick the Great", "Russian Defeats", "Possibility of Reverses", "Failure of Wellington", "The Slaughter of Sinope", "Population of Russia", "Resources of Russia", "Turkish Errors", "The Russian Army", "The Plaine Des Vertus", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
