The Last Days of the Romanovs: Tragedy at Ekaterinburg by Helen Rappaport

4.0

Fascinating book about a tragic story. This book only focuses on the last few weeks of the family, there isn't a lot of back history. The Tsar was strongly disliked by many Russians at that time and it only skims the surface as to why. It gets a bit bogged down with a lot of government names at times but it doesn't deter from the story. In the end the author doesn't shy away from the gruesome details of this family's last horrific moments. It's a shame one of the other royal families of Europe weren't able to save them, at least the children. Very well researched and written book.
