A good, reasonably researched and readable and fairly even handed look at the the last few weeks of the Romanov family. Intriguing, brutal in places and fascinating. This looked at how a gilded cage was replaced by a communist one and how the royal family almost sleepwalked into their fate. The sections on British intelligences failed attempt to rescue them was also fascinating. ( ) Very poorly edited, if edited at all. Anna Anderson was trying to find "her Aunt Irina?" Ambassador Zahle was "a former President of Denmark?" Earl Mountbatten succeeded his cousin as head of the house of Hesse? Prince Dolgorouky (actually executed in Siberia) made his way to the Dowager Empress in the Crimea? Also lots of poor word choices, typos, and the like. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Based on exclusive access to newly discovered Russian documents, the last word on the fate of the Romanov family. The overthrow and execution of Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian Imperial family is a cause celebre of twentieth-century history. Andrew Cook's re-investigation of the story finally solves one of the greatest mysteries of world history. The author draws upon new forensic evidence and newly discovered British and Russian Secret Service records reveal the truth about the family's murder, the proposed British rescue of the Imperial family led by Major Stephen Alley, and the Secret Service mission inside Russia after the family's reported deaths to discover the truth about their fate.
