Hi there /r/askhistorians ! Before any of you throw the book list at me, I'll say that I've read through it, but the problem is that in the book list there is no mention of any books which looks at the Russian situation during the great war.
There are books about the other great powers such as Germany, France and the British among several others in the list, except Russia.
So I hope some of you could guide me towards any books which details the conflict from Russia's side and the internal problems which rose up because of the war.
I've found two books about the Russian revolution in the list, named ''The Russian Revolution'' and ''A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution'' but as I've said, there is nothing about Russia during the war. I also found the book called ''George, Nicholas, and Wilhelm'' which details the events and the politics before the war so i got that covered.
Bonus: If you could also find any books detailing the rule of Nicholas the II of Russia, was it any good/bad, the opinion of the people etc. I would highly appreciate it.
Edit: I'll also apologize if this isn't the right place to ask about book recommendations.
There are two recent books that cover your criterion, David Stone's The Russian Army in the Great War: The Eastern Front, 1914-1917 and Dominic Lieven's The End of Tsarist Russia: The March to World War I and Revolution. Stone's book is a synthesis of recent scholarship on the eastern front and emphasizes the intersection of military matters with tsarist Russia's strained political system. Lieven, a notable scholar of the empire, reverses this and focuses more upon politics. Stone was interviewed at New Books in Military History and the interview gives you a good idea of his book's contours. Similarly, Lieven gave a lecture at the LSE that also provides a window into his thoughts on the empire and its dim prospects for the future.
In Wars Dark Shadow and Passage Through Armageddon by W.Bruce Lincoln. The first details the Russian history leading up to the war and the second is a history of the Russians in WWI and the Revolution.

This thread right here should be what you're looking for!
Nicholas and Alexandria by Robert Massie is a good book about the royal family of Russia. It does not cover the military history of the Russian Empire in World War I as well as other, more recent books. It does an excellent job dealing with the internal politics of the Russian Empire, during the war and the Russian Revolution, up to the time that Nicholas and his family were executed.
