- Summary:
- Gregori Rasputin is probably one of the best known, but least understood of the key figures in the events which ultimately led to the downfall of the Russian Tsars some 90 years ago. His political role as the power behind the throne is as much obscured today, as it was then, by the fascination with his morality and private life. Andrew Cook's re-investigation of Rasputin's death will reveal for the first time the real masterminds behind the murder of the "mad monk."
