More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In July 1991, nine skeletons were exhumed from a shallow mass grave near Ekaterinburg, Siberia, a few miles from the infamous cellar room where the last tsar and his family were murdered seventy-three years before.
But were these the Romanovs? And if these were their remains, where were the bones of the two younger members of the family supposedly murdered at the same time?
The Romanovs: The Final Chapter provides the answer, recounting the horrifying moments of slaughter, revealing the guilt and the cover-up by Lenin and his lieutenants, and then describing in dramatic, suspenseful detail the fascinating and ultimately successful efforts in post-Communist Russia to discover the truth.
This unique story, written almost as a detective thriller by Robert K. Massie, presents a colorful panorama of contemporary characters from the enterprising Russians who finally found the burial place; to the key dignitaries such as Secretary of State James Baker, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Prince Philip, who each played a role; to the scientific experts that disputed the findings until the truth was revealed.

Format:Paperback
This book should ONLY be read as a follow on to Nicholas and Alexandra. It answers alot of questions, for whch I am grateful. I do not believe the author should re-write his orginal work as it was written from the heart on what was fact at the time. I read many biographies and I judge all of them on the work of Robert K Massie

Not the final chapter as since this book was written the missing two bodies have been discovered but still utterly fascinating. Here's hoping Massie will write the final "final" chapter!

Format:Paperback
An interesting read for those who are familiar with Massie's earlier work, "Nicholas and Alexandra". In this book Massie updates information since gained on the fate of Nicholas and Alexandra and their discovered place of burial. It's a most useful publication. Massie should be congratulated on the research he has done into this tragic family. One would hope that Massie will now amend his original work.
