O knihe

"The Last Days of the Romanovs from 15th March, 1917" is a detailed account of the end of the Romanov Dynasty. The House of Romanov was the second ruling Russian dynasty after the House of Rurik, reigning from 1613 until the Russian Revolution in 1917. The Romanov dynasty had 65 members at the start of 1917. By the end of it, 18 had been killed by the Bolsheviks while the remaining 47 had gone into exile abroad. With an account of the events leading up to this famous moment in history as well as testimonials of eye-witnesses, this volume provides a unique and fascinating insight into the Russian Revolution, making it a must-read for those with an interest in Russian history. Contents include: "Prologue", "The Stage and Actors", "No Escape: Alexandria Misjudged", "Rasputin the Pleasant", The Tsar if Innocent", "Exile in Serbia", "Via Cructs", "Calvary", "Without Trace", "Murder Will Out", "All The Romanovs", "The Jackals", "By Order of the Tsik", "The Red Kaiser", etc. Many vintage book such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with the original text and artwork.
