The tumultuous story of the Romanovs and their enigmatic relationship with Britain is brought to life in Stephan Roman's Isle and Empires. The Island was also home to Russia's revolutionaries, spies, and terrorists, and the refugees fleeing Tsarist oppression.In August 1909, the Isle of Wight hosted the Russian Imperial family during their visit to Cowes Week, This new book explores the misunderstandings, suspicions and alliances that created an uneasy partnership between two of the world's most powerful Empires.In this updated edition, the author asserts that "It is important that we understand the history of the British relationship with Romanov Russia, if we are to make sense of what is happening today." The Isle of Wight, unexpectedly at the heart of the relationship between Britain and Russia, intimately linked the British royal family and the Romanovs.
