The Phantom Major

COWLES, VIRGINIA

HarperCollins, Publishers

The Romanov dynasty, which ruled Russia from 1613 to 1917, included some of the most bizarre, scandalous, violent and tragic figures of history. Miss Cowles, who has already published two books on the latter days of the Tsars, presents now a portrait gallery of the outstanding members of this almost incredible family, cutting away the mass of obscure and unfamiliar historical detail which surrounds them, and studying each one individually as a human personality.

The Astors

from dust jacket: "virginia Cowles, author of "The Rothschilds", now gives us another great international family: the Astors, whose immense fortune came from furs, ships, and real estate; whose mansions bejeweled Fifth Avenue, Newport, and England; who became leaders - first in America, then in Britain - of polite society; whose births and deaths, private feuds and public scandals, political ambitions and philanthropic munificence have been fascinating the world at large for close to two centuries. The story of their rise to prominence, of their long reign, of their influence and importance, is more than the saga of a rich and unusual family, for it illuminates from a unique vantage point the history of the past two hundred years."
