Title: A well-meaning failure
Product review: This is just one more of those books written based not on facts but on other people's books. The author has taken the popular overly-simplistic view of the Tsar and made him look like a leader likely to lose control (an image far from the truth). The exploitation of his family in the story is in fact a little offending. This is another attempt to find the answer to why a country like Russia (so stable and so rich in 1914) suddenly collapsed into the chaos of revolution. Even though the attempt is made, it is a failure. The author resorts to simplifying the situation to the point of making it a fairy tale.
