I read this one because I'm doing an authors challenge.


I'm a little confused by that, too; but I found my copy in the Biographies (and it was listed as biographical)! In reading it, I don't remember any thing major that appeared different. Its been a long time though since I have read Massie and other accounts, (20 years). I've been concentrating on finding other materials on the Romanov and this period! If you read it, let me know how you felt about it. I may read it again-as well as Massie's version.



I've not read Erickson's book re Alexandra. However, I've read several other books on the Romanov's, the Russian Revolution, and the regicide at Ekaterinburg in July 1918. In my historical novel, titled "St. Catherine's Crown," I portray Empress Alexandra as having a mien that is strong, intelligent, and resourceful--contrary to the facts, I admit. Needed, however, to set the foundation for my tale. May I suggest that you read my story--available on Amazon Kindle. Thanks. Marty Shelton
