Rasputin's is one of the most famous deaths in history. Now, his assassin's thrilling memoir is finally here in paperback. Born to great riches in the days before the Russian Revolution, Prince Felix observed at close range the rampant corruption and intrigues of the imperial court, which culminated in the rise to power and influence of the sinister monk Rasputin. In 1916, Prince Felix and several aristocratic cohorts killed Rasputin, which - more than any other single event - brought about the cataclysmic upheaval of Tsarist Russia.
