I had always known that my great-great uncle was secretary to Rasputin, but when I finally read his memoirs, I learned that Rasputin was not a demon but a humanitarian who was persecuted for his liberal and egalitarian beliefs, especially his support of equal rights for the oppressed Jews. With several years of further research, I was able to substantiate this assertion, leading to the publication of this book.
