Cousins Divided by Ann Morrow
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 3.09 MB
Overview: 'Cousins Divided' takes a fascinating look at the parallel lives of Tsar Nicholas II and King George V.
After the last Tsar, Nicholas II, was forced to abdicate in the spring of 1917, the British Ambassador to St. Petersburg was instructed to offer sanctuary in Britain to the beleaguered imperial family. But King George V quickly reneged on this invitation and, sixteen months later, the Romanovs were murdered in Siberia. What made the King’s actions even more shocking was the fact that the Tsar was his cousin.
Ann Morrow draws on archival material as well as the memories of the Tsar’s mother and ballerina mistress, grand-dukes and ministers, soldiers and servants, Bolsheviks and diplomats and many more. A lively and entertaining read, 'Cousins Divided' provides a behind-the-scenes look at the courts of Russia and Britain, as well as debating George V’s controversial and fateful decision.
Ann Morrow is a writer and journalist. She was Royal Correspondent for the Daily Telegraph for several years and is the author of several books, including 'Highness: The Maharajahs of India', 'The Queen', 'The Queen Mother', 'Princess' and 'Without Equal'. Born in Ireland, she now lives in London.
