Nicholas II. Emperor of all the Russias. Lieven’s book grows out of a liberal branch of the ‘ cold war ’ school which in the mid-s began to develop an ‘ optimistic ’ interpretation of the last decade or so of tsarist rule. The Russian Revolution, – : a short history.

What is there new to say about Russia's last monarch? Almost everything. Previous biographies have told of the family man, the father of the haemophiliac heir, the victim of the infamous murder at Ekaterinburg in 1918. This book covers all these topics but it looks, above all, at Nicholas as political leader and emperor. It presents a view of him very different from the one generally held in the West, and portrays the old regime's collapse and the origins of Bolshevik Russia. Nicholas II was not stupid. Nor was he nearly as weak as is thought. But the dilemmas of ruling Russia were vast and contradictory, and it is an illusion to think that by putting on a top hat and becoming a constitutional monarch Nicholas could have preserved his dynasty and empire.

Reviews about Nicholas II: Emperor of All the Russias (2):
Helo
I love anything Romanov but there are so many mistakes in this book! There are many more better written books. I will keep it just to add to my Romanov collection but I do not recommend it.
Otrytrerl
Nicholas II is a ambiguous figure; some have sympathy for his untimely death, while others credit him with the fall of the Russian Empire.
In this detailed, well-researched book Lieven looks at Nicholas through a different perspective- a comparative one- explaining how Nicholas's personality impacted the Empire's decline by analyzing other European nations and their regimes in comparison to Russia.

Well written and engaging to both the professional historian and the regular reader with interest in Nicholas II.
