The Last Tsar: The Life and Death of Nicholas II

His detailed insights make the Tsar's human side stand out, but I wonder what drove Radzinsky to explore this angle so intimately.

I went into this expecting a historical account, but the personal details made me question the monarchy’s decisions and their humanity.

The book feels very vivid and personal, but I'm curious whether it stays strictly factual or if there's a touch of author's perspective guiding the story.
