His story proves the timeless lesson that in Russia, it is dangerous to start reforms, but even more dangerous to stop them. It also shows that the traps and dangers encountered in today's war on terrorists were there 150 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51366083952863,"sku":"9780743284264","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/smHPu9UdBE9780743284264.webp?v=1789080830"},{"product_id":"the-rasputin-file-paperback","title":"The Rasputin File - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the bestselling author of \u003cb\u003eStalin\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Last Tsar\u003c\/b\u003e comes \u003cb\u003eThe Rasputin File\u003c\/b\u003e, a remarkable biography of the mystical monk and bizarre philanderer whose role in the demise of the Romanovs and the start of the revolution can only now be fully known. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor almost a century, historians could only speculate about the role Grigory Rasputin played in the downfall of tsarist Russia.
