Summary

The brutal murder of the Russian Imperial family on the night of July 16<U+2013>17, 1918 has long been a defining moment in world history. This book gives a riveting day-by-day account of the last fourteen days of their lives, as the conspiracy to kill them unfolded. In the vivid style of a TV documentary, Helen Rappaport reveals both the atmosphere inside the family<U+2019>s claustrophobic prison and the political maneuverings of those who wished to save<U+2014>or destroy<U+2014>them. With the watching world and European monarchies proving incapable of saving the Romanovs, the narrative brings this tragic story to life in a compellingly new and dramatic way, culminating in a bloody night of horror in a cramped basement room
