Özet
'Impressive, often brilliant' THE TIMES

'Certain to become the definitive work' DOUGLAS SMITH
'Elegantly written and magisterially researched' ROBERT SERVICE
'Masterful . . . a chilling lesson' VLADISLAV ZUBOK
The definitive story behind the self-destruction of the autocratic Romanov dynasty, by the world's foremost expert.
When Tsar Nicholas II fell from power in 1917, Imperial Russia faced a series of overlapping crises, from war to social unrest. Though Nicholas's life is often described as tragic, it was not fate that doomed the Romanovs - it was poor leadership and a blinkered faith in autocracy.
Based on a trove of new archival discoveries, The Last Tsar narrates how Nicholas's resistance to reform doomed the monarchy. Encompassing the captivating personalities of the era, it untangles the struggles between the increasingly isolated Nicholas and Alexandra and the factions of scheming nobles, ruthless legislators, and pragmatic generals who sought to stabilize the restive Russian empire either with the Tsar or without him. By rejecting compromise, Nicholas undermined his supporters at crucial moments. His blunders cleared the way for all-out civil war and the eventual rise of the Soviet Union.
Definitive and engrossing, The Last Tsar uncovers how Nicholas II stumbled into revolution, taking his family, the Romanov dynasty, and the whole Russian Empire down with him.©2024 Tsuyoshi Hasegawa (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Eleştirmen yorumları
The capstone to a brilliant career, The Last Tsar is certain to become the definitive work on the chaotic, earth-shattering demise of the Romanov destiny. No historian before has dissected these tumultuous days with such clarity, precision, and insight (Douglas Smith, author of RASPUTIN)
A terrific account of the February 1917 Revolution in Russia that knocks down many of the pillars of our usual interpretations. Elegantly written and magisterially researched (Robert Service, author of A HISTORY OF MODERN RUSSIA)
An intimate and highly absorbing account of Russia's last hereditary autocrat. It is likely to be the definitive one for many years to come. From the cult surrounding Rasputin to the tense minute-by-minute plotting of the generals, Duma politicians, aristocrats, and the tsar himself, The Last Tsar brilliantly conveys the messy reality of imperial power coming apart at the seams (Lewis Siegelbaum, Emeritus Professor, Michigan State University)
Hasegawa's masterful book is like a slow-motion picture of Russia approaching the edge. Yet only the weakness, inaction and stupidity of the last Tsar, as well as the stunning recklessness of the Russian elites, pushed the empire into the breach. A chilling lesson on how the ineptness of one man, and the opportunism of many, can pull down not only an outdated regime, but the entire temple of state, law, and civil society (Vladislav Zubok, author of COLLAPSE)
Mesmerising and damning (Daily Telegraph)
An impressive, often brilliant book. The detail is mind-boggling and the skill with which political convolutions are unravelled is admirable (The Times)
incredible precision, clarity and detail.
