Recensione:

The Czar’s Madmen is a joy to read. . . . The details of its era are as vivid as its totally believable and entrancing people. A strong, carefully crafted, thoughtful, and deeply moving book.” — The New York Times Book Review
A provocative, original, and highly political . . . critique [of] imperial Russia’s relationship with its Baltic province and, by extension, the authoritarian regimes of our own times.” — Publishers Weekly
