DESCRIPTION:
"Brings other parts of the story to the fore" according to Voves. [[VIDEOID:moPXVLRZGJM20N]]The fall of the Russian Empire is such a compelling and complex part of the Nicholas and Alexandra story that other aspects of their history tend to get crowded out of a good number of books.We think of Nicholas,Alexandra and their children as being forever sequestered behind the walls of the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoe Selo ( literally translated " The Tsar Village ) But much went on before the family's retreat to The Tsar's Village after the 1905 revolution.As a youth and young Tsar, Nicholas II traveled to a remarkable decree. I found. "absolutely brilliant and well researched" according to sallyann1899. This book really does make you think differently about Nicholas as it so easy to understand him from reading this masterly work. I am amazed at the skill of this author after reading 'Road to Revolution' earlier. It is certainly the best book on Nicholas by a long way.. John Graham Ennis said fabulous book and so well written.. great book, so well written and easy to understand. brings the character of Nicholas to the fore and adds extra information on his small daughters. Excellent.

He endured a serious of personal disasters and constantly struggled to assert himself until his own health broke down in 1900. After years of living an idle life followed by a career in the army and marriage to Alix, Nicholas became Tsar of Russia. As Tsar, he often felt inadequate. Although Nicholas had immense personal charm, he did not possess the confidence or most of the qualities needed to rule the vast Russian Empire. Readers also follow Princess Alix of Hesse when she was summoned to the Crimea, meeting up with her fiancée Nicholas at Simferopol and the travels beyond. 'The Tsar’s Travels' also includes the early childhood of the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Marie, Anastasia and their beloved cousin Princess Elisabeth of Hesse.This series of books are by far the most detailed and accurate books on the Grand Duchesses OLGA TATIANA MARIE and ANASTASIA and are from genuine historical sources.. ECS Banks touches on his childhood, growing up
