Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich. Memoirs

Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, also known as Sandro (1866-1933), uncle and contemporary of Tsar Nicholas II, was his friend and brother-in-law, married to Grand Duchess Xenia; father of six sons and daughter Irina, who married Felix Yusupov. A charming aristocrat... and a cheerful wise man, a sailor, admiral, and creator of the Russian military aviation, he knew everyone and understood everything, and in terms of thinking, he was more modern than many of us.
.
.This volume includes both books of the Grand Duke's memoirs. The first book is published with the restoration of all the numerous cuts of a political and intimate nature that the Russian émigrés made in Paris in 1933. The second book, recounting the years of emigration, has been specially translated for this edition.
