About this book
After three years in Siberia, Pierre Gilliard returned to Europe in September 1920 and found that most books about Nicholas II and his family were full of falsehoods. He had been tutor to the Czarevitch, and he wrote this personal record of the last years of the Czar and his family to set the matter right. Gilliard sees the Czarevitch's illness, which made the rise of Rasputin possible, as the key to the reign's last period. Illustrated with 59 pictures, it includes the captivity at Tsarskoe Selo from March to August 1917. F. Appleby Holt translated it.
