Hardback. Condición: Good. A whole empire collapses, and not a single tsar consults the instruction manual. Last Days of Imperial Russia (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1976) by Miriam Kochan is the calmly horrified chronicle of how one of the biggest, grandest, most bejewelled regimes on earth managed to trip over its own autocracy and land face-first in revolution. Think of it as the long, chaotic goodbye party of the Romanov dynasty, told by someone who has read all the documents and is quietly appalled at the decision-making. Kochan walks you through the final act of the imperial drama: A tsar who believes in divine right but not in reading the room. A court so insulated it might as well be on another planet. Ministers revolving through office like a particularly nervous carousel. Soldiers, workers and peasants gradually realising that ?God?s anointed? might not be entirely on top of things. There are food shortages, strikes, bad wars, worse advisors, and the small matter of an entire ruling class trying to pretend history isn?t happening right outside the palace gates. Kochan stitches together politics, personalities and everyday detail into a narrative that feels less like ?inevitable decline of empire? and more like watching a very slow, very preventable accident in exquisitely decorated surroundings. This copy comes to you via Crappy Old Books , loftily graded Condition: Good , which in our time-honoured system means: The dust jacket (if still present) shows light rubbing and edgewear, like a once-grand uniform that?s seen one parade too many. The boards are solid and upright, unlike certain Russian institutions circa 1917. The pages are clean, tight and gently toned ? more ?dignified archive? than ?smuggled out under gunfire.? Minor scuffs, softened corners and possibly a previous owner?s discreet signature inside are treated as historical layering , and come at no extra charge. ISBN: 0297771523 , for the cataloguer who likes to bring a little order to the story of systemic collapse. Recommended if: You?ve ever thought, ?How bad could elite mismanagement really get?? and would like a carefully documented answer. You enjoy history where telegrams, rumours, diaries and bad decisions all pile up into revolution. You want to understand how an empire can look invincible on paper right up until it suddenly isn?t. Last Days of Imperial Russia : a guided tour through the twilight of a dynasty ? icons on the walls, cracks in the foundations, and history quietly loading the firing squad offstage. Now in pleasantly timeworn but thoroughly Good condition, ready to preside over your bookshelf like a slightly shell-shocked relic of a world that thought it would last forever.
