Recensione:

Praise for Edvard Radzinsky's The Last Tsar:

"An unforgettable book in which the evocative power of the dramatist is enriched by scholarship."
--Time

"Remarkable...An absorbing tale, the ultimate in last-days-of-the-Romanov books."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Everything Radzinsky says is a definitive take on the epic of Russian history...He has added a new dimension to our understanding of the purpose--and horror--of the Ekaterinburg tragedy."
--Vanity Fair

"[Radzinsky] triumphs in allowing us often to hear the voices of protagonists and bit players in diaries (including Nicholas's and Alexandra's), memoirs, letters and oral reminiscences, all of which vividly evoke the imperial twilight and the red dawn."
--People

"The best study of the firsthand evidence about the execution, it makes compelling reading...As a powerfully written testament to one sensitive, human and creative writer's efforts to rise above the false truths that his society sought to impose, it is a narrative to remember."
--Chicago Tribune

"Vivid, enthralling, fascinating."
--Nikolai Tolstoy, Daily Telegraph

"A superb detective story."
--The New Yorker
