Praise for Secret Lives of the Tsars
“An accessible, exciting narrative . . . Highly recommended for
generalists interested in Russian history and those who enjoy the
seamier side of past lives.”—Library Journal (starred
review)
“An excellent condensed version of Russian history . . . a fine
tale of history and scandal . . . sure to please general readers
and monarchy buffs alike.”—Publishers Weekly
“Tales from the nasty lives of global royalty . . . an
easy-reading, lightweight history lesson.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Readers of this book may get a sense of why Russians are so
tolerant of tyrants like Stalin and Putin. Given their history, it
probably seems normal.”—The Washington Post
Praise for Michael Farquhar
“Michael Farquhar doesn’t write about history the way, say, Doris
Kearns Goodwin does. He writes about history the way Doris Kearns
Goodwin’s smart-ass, reprobate kid brother might. I, for one,
prefer it.”—Gene Weingarten, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and
Washington Post columnist
