Very well researched. A lot of detail about plans that were out there to save ( or not save) the Tsar and his family. For anyone who wants a complete picture of the last days of the Romanovs, this book is a must

The historian in me loved this. It was equally about the family and the historian’s adventures tracking down sources.

This has a lot of excellent and well researched information, but it was so dry and descriptive that it was a a slog to get through. Since it has a good rating here, my expectation is that I simply didn’t jive with the author’s writing style.

The third book by Helen rappaport that I've read. This has to be one of the most infuriating events in history. Really just gets me down. It's a very scholarly and interesting account of the various plans that were developed to save the Romanovs, yet unfortunately were never carried out.
