He was the Grand Duke Michael Aleksandrovich, the tall, handsome brother of Tsar Nicholas II. She was Nathalie Wulfert, the extraordinarily beautiful daughter of a Moscow lawyer and the wife of a Guards officer - the man for whom she had divorced her first husband, a musician. For Grand Duke Michael it was love at first sight - a passion that would never fade and that would lead to disgrace, cruel humiliation, and banishment. But Michael and Natasha is much more than an astonishing love story. In part a portrait of the last age of elegance, it is also an account of the First World War, of frontline heroism, and of the events that brought about the downfall of Nicholas II and his abdication in favor of his brother. What happened afterward changed history, and what happened to Michael - the last Romanov to be proclaimed Emperor - is a story that, until now, has never been told.

reviewed Michael and Natasha on February 21, 2013 Michael and Natasha
A compelling read on a member of the Romanov family seldom focused upon. Michael and Natasha is an entertaining book that examines the trials and tribulations of the third son of Emperor Alexander III. Charismatic and intelligent, Michael (unlike Nicholas)held his own among his imperious and overbearing uncles. Although gifted with more charm and leadership abilities than his brother Nicholas II, both men possessed the same degree of stubbornness in their characters. Michael led an interesting and charmed life. In any biography of Romanov family members, it is painful to approach the year 1917. The Russian Revolution would lead to the near extinction of the Russian aristocracy and the death of thousands of innocent civilians. The author definitely casts Nicholas II and his Empress in an unflattering light. One would like to think after reading this book that European history might have taken an entirely different turn in the 20th century if Michael had ascended the Russian throne from the beginning instead of his brother Nicholas. This enjoyable book provides much food for thought and I highly recommend it.
