Book Reviews of The Flight of the Romanovs: A Family Saga

Book Review: Psst....Isn't That a Romanov...?
Summary: 5 Stars


Yes, we have a pretty good idea what happened to the last Tsar and his immediate household, but there were a lot more Romanovs on the family tree.

This book is well researched and well presented. It is a good way to realize that even the highest and mightiest have extended family who are a bit eccentric. When the subject is the Russian royal family, they all seem pretty colorful. You would have hated to be shy, retiring and bookish in this clan.

This book follows the extended Romanov family through much of the 20th Century, as Perry and Pleshakov tell us in great detail not only what happened to Nikky and Alix, but also to their lesser known kith and kin. From the Revolution on, we find them going all over Europe, some with plenty of wherewithal and others without a penny to their names.

The authors have tracked them and traced them in their dispersion. And they show us just how far the family has spread out in the past hundred years. No, there aren't any Romanovs left at the Kremlin. But.. Who knew that there might be Romanovs just down the block from us, or in our favorite restaurant?

"Waiter, there's a Romanov in my soup...!"

Summary of The Flight of the Romanovs: A Family Saga

A saga of love and lust, personal tensions and rivalries, antagonisms and hatreds, The Flight of the Romanovs describes the last century of the Russian imperial dynasty-a century that saw the greatest social and political upheavals in all of recorded history. Drawing upon a wealth of untapped resources from Russian, British, and American archives, including unpublished diaries of many of the principal characters and never-before-published photographs, Perry and Pleshakov render an indelible portrait of a family and their time, from the youth of Alexander III in the 1860s to the death, one hundred years later, of his daughter Olga Alexandrovna, the last Grand Duchess.Set against the backdrop of this most cataclysmic century, The Flight of the Romanovs is a must-read for anyone interested in this fascinating dynasty, Russian history, and the history of European royalty.
