The Fall of the Romanovs

The compelling and poignant story of the arrest , captivity and execution of the last tzar of Russia and his family during the revolution of 1917-1918 has been recounted - and romanticized - for decades. Now a new book explores a full range of events and reveals the thoughts , perceptions and judgements of the individuals involved - Nicholas and Alexandra , their children and the men who guarded and eventually killed them.
