Rasputin: A Short Life, by Frances Welch 201 pagesA fairly short yet detailed biography of the "Mad Monk" who brought down a 400
year old dynasty. Most of the subject matter detailed is of his sexual exploits from his teenage years to his untimely death at age 47. There are countless books written on this polarizing figure, and his interactions with the Romanov family.
I enjoyed this book, it was a quick read, yet very informative for being only two hundred pages, other biographies of the man extend well past 800 pages. If you like history, give it a shot.
