Ebook Edition: Published on 17 July 2023, the 105th anniversary of the brutal murder of Russia's ruling family.

Tony Abbott's mission in writing Nicholas II - Tsar to Saint is not to simply offer another recounting of this terrible period in history. Rather, it is to immerse readers in the other issues that were shaping the world at the time, and to reveal the controversial and alternative theories relating to the fate of some of the Romanov family members.

Approaching the turn of the 20th Century the age of exploration was making way for a new era of scientific discovery. During this transition in Russia, the last Romanov Tsar inherited the throne in 1894 and having the opportunity for reforms and to play a leading role on the world stage, he took the country instead through wars and empowered a brutal regime which ultimately led to humiliation during World War I, the end of the monarchy and the demise of the Romanov dynasty.

Forensically researched and using existing material gathered from the memoirs of others to substantiate the theories, Nicholas II - Tsar to Saint stands out in the Romanov literary crowd and is also guaranteed to get historians talking and to intrigue and enthral Romanov enthusiasts. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿This is the harrowing story of the last Russian Imperial Family, modern day saints of the Russian Orthodox Church.
