A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

THE 'ROMANOV' BONES DISCREDITED - New scientific analysis challenges the authenticity of the DNA tests and of the bones themselves. THE PLOTS TO SAVE THE TSAR - Primary documentary evidence, including recently declassified intelligence files, reveals that Britain and her allies were pouring money and their finest secret agents into Russia as part of a top secret plan to topple the Bolsheviks and save the Tsar. A SAFE HOUSE - Incontrovertible proof that a secret house intended for the Tsar was built in a remote part of northern Russia and paid for by British Intelligence. A TALE OF SURVIVAL? - Urgent, coded telegrams sent by the American Embassy and Department of State five months after the Romanov family's disappearance suggest the Imperial Family may, after all, have survived-Told with the pace of a thriller, this highly readable and vigorously researched book is the biggest and most revolutionary re-investigation into the disappearance of the Romanovs for 25 years.
