The Decline and Rise of the Romanov Dynasty (2017 Edition)

The Decline and Fall of the Romanov Dynasty has been written with the New South Wales HSC Modern History Examination in mind. It strictly follows the outline of the NEW HSC history syllabus (2018-2019). However, the format, detail and historiography it contains make this book an ideal companion for students in other states and overseas who are studying the Romanov dynasty during this period.

The value of this book lies in:

• its solid, relevant narrative detail
• its inclusion of the views of several of the top historians who have written on aspects of this topic
• its revision exercises
• and, perhaps, most usefully, its advice on how to write examination-style essays

Written specifically for NSW Stage 6 Modern History syllabus (2019 HSC onwards).
