Cloth over boards. xv, [3], 656 p. Maps. Illustrations. Selected Bibliography. Notes. Index. Robert Kinloch Massie III (born 1929) is an American historian, author and Pulitzer Prize recipient. He has devoted much of his career to studying the House of Romanov, Russia's royal family from 1613 to 1917. Massie worked as a journalist for Newsweek from 1959-62 before taking a position at the Saturday Evening Post. In 1967, before he and his family moved to France, Massie wrote and published his breakthrough book, Nicholas and Alexandra, a biography of Nicholas II and Alexandra of Hesse, the last Emperor and Empress of Russia. In 1971 the book was the basis of an Academy Award-winning film of the same title. In 1995, in his book The Romanovs: The Final Chapter, Massie updated Nicholas and Alexandra with much newly discovered information. Massie won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for Biography for Peter the Great: His Life and World. T Since then, Massie has written a number of books, including most recently in 2011, Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman."
