Summary: This is a historical investigation into the final months of the Russian Imperial family during 1917–1918. The book explores the various international efforts diplomatic, political, and personal to rescue Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, and their children after the Russian Revolution. Rappaport examines why these rescue attempts ultimately failed, analyzing the roles of European monarchs, including King George V, Allied governments, and Russian political factions. Using newly uncovered archival material, she shows that the failure to save the Romanovs was not due to a single individual or nation, but a combination of wartime politics, fear, and diplomatic hesitation.
