A compelling biographical portrait, Empress Alexandra of Russia chronicles the life of Alix of Hesse, the German princess who became the last Tsarina of Russia as wife to Tsar Nicholas II. The book traces her deeply devout and reserved personality, her unwavering devotion to her family, and the fateful bond she formed with the mystic Rasputin in her desperate quest to manage her son Alexei's haemophilia. Anthony Bird presents a nuanced account of a woman whose political naivety and fierce loyalty helped accelerate the collapse of the Romanov dynasty amid the turmoil of World War I and the Russian Revolution. A sobering study of power, faith, and tragedy, this biography illuminates how personal conviction and royal isolation can shape — and ultimately doom — an empire.
