Synopsis
The story has been told many times, but Service's deep understanding of the period and his forensic examination of previously untapped sources, including the Tsar's diaries and recorded conversations, as well as the testimonies of the official inquiry, shed remarkable new light on his troubled reign, also revealing the kind of Russia that Nicholas wanted to emerge from the Great War.
The Last of the Tsars is a masterful study of a man who was almost entirely out of his depth, perhaps even willfully so. It is also a compelling account of the social, economic and political ferment in Russia that followed the February Revolution, the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 and the beginnings of Lenin's Soviet socialist republic.

Review
A scholarly biography that goes beyond the gruesome depictions of the Romanovs' end to examine the more complicated nature of Nicholas II's character. A compelling work; organized, concise, and chilling.
Service brings forensic detail to his account of the Romanov family's confinement and murder, mining newly available material that gives the story a you-are-there quality.
Service's books are authoritative, definitive, and tell a compelling story, and this is no exception. Thanks to Service's exhaustive and persuasive retelling, we can now separate myth and legend from the historical record.
