Book excerpt: "Nicholas and Alexandra exchanged nearly 1,700 letters and telegrams from April 28, 1914 to March 7, 1917. All of the letters and most of the telegrams are in English, with a considerable use (in descending order) of Russian, French and German words, expressions and phrases. ... The letters and telegrams are published here in the order in which they were written. ... The importance of the Nicky-Sunny correspondence is clear. Sir Bernard Pares thought these letters to be the 'most important historical source for the subjects with which they deal, and the main subject of them is the governance of the Russian Empire.'"--Introduction.
