Иллюстрированное издание на английском языке. Размышляя о прошлом России, приходишь к выводу, что наша страна, располагающаяся на двух континентах, европейском и азиатском, всегда сочетала в себе черты восточных деспотий и европейских цивилизаций, что отразилось и на характере российского самодержавия. Мы поведем рассказ о русском абсолютизме от его истоков до трагического финала. Начальная глава посвящена зарождению государственности на Руси, вторая представляет собой изложение истории Рюриковичей - первой правящей династии. В третьей повествуется о Смутном времени, когда держава находилась на краю гибели. Четвертая начинается с момента прихода к власти представителя династии Романовых Михаила Федоровича, а заканчивается гибелью последнего русского самодержца Николая II и его семьи.
