The book delves into the history of the Romanov dynasty, presenting a critical narrative of the autocratic rule in Russia and its sociopolitical ramifications. It aims to illuminate the tragic and romantic elements of Russian history, particularly focusing on how the autocracy emerged and its impact on the Russian populace.  The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Russia's history, emphasizing its early democracy among the Slavs and the subsequent descent into autocracy. McCabe reflects on the Russian character, suggesting that despite prevailing theories of the Slavs' indifference to democratic ideals, there has been a persistent struggle for freedom against oppressive rulers. He introduces the concept of the Romance of the Romanoffs as a tale of tragedy, brutality, and corruption, suggesting that the narrative will explore both the shortcomings of autocracy and the resilient spirit of the Russian people.
