Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov (1856-1929) was a key figure in late Imperial Russia, and one of its foremost soldiers. At the outbreak of World War I, his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II, appointed him Supreme Commander of the Russian Army. From 1914 to 1915, and then again briefly in 1917, he was commander of the largest army in the world in the greatest war the world had ever seen. His appointment reflected the fact that he was perhaps the man the last Emperor of Russia trusted the most. At six foot six, the Grand Duke towered over those around him. His fierce temper was a matter of legend. However, as Robinson's vivid account shows, he had a more complex personality than either his supporters or detractors believed.

In a career spanning fifty years, the Grand Duke played a vital role in transforming Russia's political system. In 1905, the Tsar assigned him the duty of coordinating defense and security planning for the entire Russian empire. When the Tsar asked him to assume the mantle of military dictator, the Grand Duke, instead of accepting, persuaded the Tsar to sign a manifesto promising political reforms. Less opportunely, he also had a role in introducing the Tsar and Tsarina to the infamous Rasputin. A few years after the revolution in 1917, the Grand Duke became de facto leader of the Russian migr community.

Despite his importance, the only other biography of the Grand Duke was written by one of his former generals in 1930, a year after his death, and it is only available in Russian. The result of research in the archives of seven countries, this groundbreaking biography--the first to appear in English--covers the Grand Duke's entire life, examining both his private life and his professional career. Paul Robinson's engaging account will be of great value to those interested in World War I and military history, Russian history, and biographies of notable figures.

Perfect travel wipes – very convenient for theme parks
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10), Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
I bought these unscented mini wipes for a trip to Disney and they were perfect to carry around all day. The small size makes them really easy to keep in a purse or pocket. I ended up using about one per day just for myself. I was going to the restroom very frequently during the day and they were really useful for freshening up, cleaning my hands, or quick personal hygiene. They’re unscented, which I personally prefer, and the quality is really good. I still keep one in my purse because the size is perfect to carry around. I’d definitely pack them again for another trip.

Tiny but effective
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
These little wipes are so cute, and they definitely come in handy when you are traveling. These wipes provide just the right amount of moisture and you can use them on literally any body part. They come in handy when you are in a restroom situation with no TP or if you are traveling in a country that uses manual bidets. These were decently thick, held up very well, didn't tear easily, had a perfect moisture level, and no scent. Did not leave the skin irritated or itchy after use.

Perfect!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
I have a 6 year old and we still bring wipes in the car or in my purse wherever we go because you never know when you need one. This is the perfect size and just what I was looking for. It doesn’t have scent, seals well, soft and just enough moisture. I usually wear small purses and this is a savior when we travel abroad.

Wipes from those expensive sushi restaurants
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 60)
I never really buy things without reading reviews, but for some reason, I didn't read reviews before buying these. Really glad that these turned out to be something I actually really like. Bought these little wipes to bring on my Disneyland trips because I realized you can never keep your hands clean enough while at the parks. These wipes are the size of little hand wipes you get from regular restaurants... the cheaper ones... the little square Fresh Naps. However, the quality of these wipes are of those long ones that come in the bags that they give out at sushi restaurants. They feel like cloth (soft and thick) and not paper so they wont rip while you're using them to wipe your hands. These are fragrance free, which means they smell like fragrance free lotion. I don't feel like they leave a sticky lingering after feel, but it's also currently 100 degrees so that may be a factor because I usually do feel that weird sticky feel after using mostly any hand wipes. That cleaned a little, but not actually clean feeling is honestly the worst. One little packet is like the size of the 2nd gen Ipod nanos (a little shorter) or like two ipod shuffles. They are really small and pretty much perfect for travel. 6 wipes in a packet is perfect for one full days use if you're out and about at a theme park with kids all around you that like to touch and lick everything with their little sticky, greasy fingers. The wipes have a shelf-life of 2 years. Mine was made in 2025... bought mid 2026... idk if I'd be able to use all 60 packets before they "expire", pero like, what does that even really mean anyway?
