Books by Donald J. Raleigh

This volume gives voice to the lead actors in the "first phase" of the process of unravelling the "blank spots" in Soviet history. Involved in this process are senior historians, their journalistic "challengers" and those charged with responsibility for the institutions of research and training.

In this work, historians tell the story of the Romanovs as complex individual personalities and as key institutional actors in Russian history, from the empire builder Peter I to the last tsar, Nicholas II.
