Helen Rappaport
On the 100th anniversary of the murder of the Russian imperial family, acclaimed historian Helen Rappaport embarks on a quest to uncover the many international plots to save them, why they failed, and who was responsible.
The murder of the Romanov family in July 1918 horrified the world, and its aftershocks still reverberate today. In Putin's autocratic Russia, the Revolution itself is considered a crime, and its anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the imperial family will be commemorated in 2018 by a huge ceremony to be attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church.
While the murder itself has received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots behind the scenes to save the family - on the part of their royal relatives, other governments, and Russian monarchists loyal to the tsar. Rappaport refutes the claim that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional claim for the last century. The responsibility for failing the Romanovs must be equally shared. The question of asylum for the tsar and his family was an extremely complicated issue that presented enormous political, logistical, and geographical challenges at a time when Europe was still at war.
Like a modern-day detective, Helen Rappaport draws on new and never-before-seen sources from archives in the United States, Russia, Spain, and the UK, creating a powerful account of near misses and close calls with a heartbreaking conclusion. With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the Romanovs.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Rappaport, a historian, turns the question of why European relatives and Allied governments failed to save Czar Nicholas and family into a thriller, full of juicy tidbits for Romanov completists." (Newsweek)
"Devastating, complex, and fast-moving.... This is a well-researched account of a colorful, suspenseful, and tragic series of events." (Publishers Weekly)

The book depicts Tsar Nikolai as being clueless about the state of the people (he was, history has proven this) and his Empress as being the force (a negative and mean one) behind their rule. It is well researched and shows the tambour of the country and how the Tsar was ignoring the clues that he needed to get out of the country and take his family with him. The author shows the readers how there was a collective denial of the obvious by an Empress who felt that she and her husband had a right to rule, and kept their family insulated from the reality of a country that had just fought in a huge war and was suddenly faced with a civil war.
We learn that rescuing the Tzar had impacts on the other countries politically and why they were all passing the buck around as to whose responsibility it was, and why even his closest relatives would not help him.

I love Helen Rappaport's stuff and this book was no different. It provided a lot of information I hadn't previously known, so I liked that. Just wish they had gotten Xe Sands, who has narrated other of her books.
Would have been better with a better narrator
