The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs by Gareth Armstrong is an unparalleled exploration into the tragic end of the Romanov dynasty, crafted by the leading authority on the subject. This masterful account captivates the mind and resonates deeply with anyone fascinated by history's great upheavals.
In this compelling narrative, Armstrong delves into the chaotic year of 1917, when Tsar Nicholas II's rule succumbed to a tempest of crises that would change the course of Russian history forever. Drawing on newly unearthed archival material, the author meticulously reconstructs the final moments of Imperial Russia, revealing how Nicholas's rigid autocracy and refusal to adapt led to his downfall.
This extraordinary work has garnered acclaim from historians, with Douglas Smith claiming it is "certain to become the definitive work" on the subject. As readers journey through the Tsar's missteps and the rise of revolutionary fervor, they are offered a unique lens into the collapse of one of history’s great empires. Experience the depths of human ambition and error with The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs, and gain an understanding of a pivotal moment that shaped the future of Russia and the world.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
