Description

One day in February 1917, Nicholas II left his palace outside of Petrograd and traveled to Russian Army Headquarters. Over the next week, he lost the support of his subjects, his army, and his government as the Empire crumbled. On the ninth day, he lost his throne, as revolution swept the Romanov Dynasty from power and forever changed the world. In this vibrant account, historian Greg King offers the most extensive examination of this pivotal event ever available in English. Drawing on archival sources in Russia, obscure memoirs, and a wealth of emigre literature, Nine Days That Shook the World reconstructs events surrounding the abdication while setting them within their historical framework. Important events leading to the crisis are examined as well as the wealth of conspiracy theories which ring the abdication. At the same time, a sensitive portrait of Nicholas II's fragile psychological state adds a layer of understanding to his action and inaction during the biggest crisis of his reign.
