The Romanovs: Autocrats of All the Russians by W. Bruce Lincoln is a fascinating, detailed account of the royals who ruled Russia from the middle ages up until the murder of Czar Nicholas II and his family.
The details of the facts surrounding each reign are incredible, very well-researched, and the style used by Lincoln will suck you in. I was riveted. This book is a true page turner. I read it for a class, but it did not feel like work at all. It was a total pleasure.
