Final Record Invaluable to Romanov Enthusiasts

It is ironic that, being the most private of persons, many of the last Tsarinia's most intimate thoughts are now available in several books, including this recently declassified diary of her final days. However, readers who search out this book are probably sympathetic, and will find her daily ...

michael john sullivan
Random House, 1997
A Magnificent Historical Biography
+ An Extremely Well- Written Book
This was an immensely enjoyable and fascinating book from beginning to end. The author certainly did a superlative job in gathering and presenting the facts and placing them in a very skillful and compelling narrative. So often history comes across as dull and lifeless, but not here. Sullivan ...

Robert Alexander
Viking Adult, 2003
Like an eye-witness account!
+ Review of The Kitchen Boy
+ Personally, I found it a fascinating book
Robert Alexander, author of The Kitchen Boy, is an enthralling story-teller. So richly detailed is his story and so filled with supportive historical information, that I had to keep reminding myself that, although it was extremely unlikely that he was an eye-witness to all of the events ...

Hugo Mager
Da Capo Press, 1999
Reviewing Romanov Snobs
+ Inspiring
+ An ambigous but pleasant story
If you are looking for the story of St. Elizabeth's life, this book is a good starting point. Do not be deterred by the snob reviewers here who apparently knew everything about Elizabeth's life before they read the book. Is it a perfect book? Is there any such thing? Of course not, but Mager does ...
