-Descripcion Original:
About the Author DR. HELEN RAPPAPORT is the New York Times bestselling author of several books, including A Magnificent Obsession, The Romanov Sisters and Caught in the Revolution. She studied Russian Special Studies at Leeds University and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a specialist in Imperial Russian and Victorian history, and a frequent historical consultant on TV and radio. She lives in West Dorset. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Romanov Sisters and Caught in the Revolution, The Last Days of the Romanovs is Helen Rappaports riveting, moment-by-moment account of the last fourteen days of the Russian Imperial family. “The brutal 1918 massacre of the Romanov family may be familiar, but in Russian scholar Rappaports hands, the tale becomes as shocking and immediate as a thriller. . . . A gripping read.” People magazine This is the story of the murders that ended three hundred years of Romanov rule and set their stamp on an era of state-orchestrated terror and brutal repression. Counting down to the last, tense hours of the Imperial familys lives, Rappaport strips away the over-romanticized versions of previous accounts. The story focuses on the family inside the Ipatiev House, capturing the oppressive atmosphere and the dynamics of a group the Romanovs, their servants, and guards thrown together by extraordinary events. Marshaling overlooked evidence from key witnesses such as the British consul to Ekaterinburg, Sir Thomas Preston, American and British travelers in Siberia, and the now-forgotten American journalist Herman Bernstein, Helen Rappaport gives a brilliant account of the political forces swirling through the remote Urals town. She conveys the tension of the watching world: the Kaiser of Germany and George V, King of England both, like Alexandra, grandchildren of Queen Victoria their nations locked in combat as the First World War drew to its bitter end. And she draws on recent releases from the Russian archives to challenge the view that the deaths were a unilateral act by a maverick group of the Ekaterinburg Bolsheviks, identifying a chain of command that stretches directly, she believes, to Moscow and to Lenin himself.Telling the story in a compellingly new and dramatic way, The Last Days of the Romanovs brings those final tragic days vividly alive against the backdrop of Russia in turmoil, on the brink of a devastating civil war. Review “The brutal 1918 massacre of the Romanov family may be familiar, but in Russian scholar Rappaports hands, the tale becomes as shocking and immediate as a thriller. Drawing on new archives and forensics, she crafts a portrait of the final weeks of Russias last imperial family, cramped in the House of Special Purpose in Ekaterinburg. Though Tsar Nicholass rule was harsh, the love and religious devotion he and his family shared makes them sympathetic. The Romanovs are now saints in Russian Orthodoxy, symbols of faith and hope. This gripping read helps you understand why.” People magazine (3 ½ stars)“Synthesizing a variety of sources, Rappaport details the Romanovs last two weeks. . . . How the last czar and his family died was one of Russias best-kept secrets for decades, and Rappaport spares none of the gory details of the panicked bloodbath . . . and botched burial of the corpses . . . this is an absorbing, lucid and authoritative work.” Publishers Weekly“British historian Rappaport combines detailed scholarship with an engaging narrative style. . . . The books most gripping sections describe the days and hours leading up to and including the familys execution. Rappaport spares few details . . . Solid political and social history, related with the vigor of a true-crime thriller.” Kirkus Reviews“Rappaport fills out her story with vivid detail and superb characterization, building the tension and drama to its brutal climax, sparing no stomach-turning details. She draws us in so well, that we v
