Bulletproof and Bathless

Bulletproof and Bathless

How Rasputin Broke an Empire

by James Johnson

Dedication

For the people who saw it coming,
and for the ones who didn’t believe them.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


BIG THANKS TO the Russian Empire for falling apart just slowly enough for this book to work.

Appreciation to all the confused historians, sketchy letters, and terrifying photographs that helped reconstruct this mess.

And to the modern world: if any of this feels familiar, that’s your problem now.
