Description: The love affair of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia, and his wife, Alexandra, a granddaughter of Britain's Queen Victoria, is a tale of searing passion and inescapable tragedy. Just how deep the passion, how intimate the relationship, and how tragic the end only now becomes clear with the release of their letters to one another, the majority of which are published here for the first time.
