Selezionato per l'HWA Sharpe Books Non-Fiction Crown Award Un'opera di storia investigativa che cambierà completamente il modo in cui vediamo la storia dei Romanov. Infine, ecco la verità sui piani segreti per salvare l'ultima famiglia imperiale russa. Il 17 luglio 1918, l'intera famiglia imperiale russa fu assassinata. Non ci furono fughe miracolose. L'ex zar Nicola, sua moglie Alexandra e i loro figli - Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia e Alexey - furono tutti tragicamente uccisi a colpi di arma da fuoco. La storica Helen Rappaport si propone di scoprire perché i parenti reali europei dei Romanov e i governi alleati non riuscirono a salvarli. Non fu mai un semplice caso di perdita di coraggio da parte di un re britannico. In questa corsa contro il tempo, molte altre nazioni e individui hanno dovuto affrontare sfide politiche e personali di altissimo livello. In questa incredibile storia poliziesca, Rappaport attinge a una gamma senza precedenti di fonti invisibili, rintracciando documenti mancanti, carte distrutte e complotti segreti per liberare la famiglia via terra, via mare e persino via cielo. Attraverso innumerevoli colpi di scena, questa opera rivelatrice svela molte false affermazioni e cospirazioni, rivelando la più feroce lealtà, le aspre rivalità e i devastanti tradimenti mentre i Romanov, imprigionati, attendevano il loro destino. Una straordinaria nuova opera di storia di Helen Rappaport, autrice di Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the Romanovs.
