Description: LibertyBellPublications.com presents ... The Last Days of the Romanovs: How Tsar Nicholas the Second & Russia's Author:Robert Wilton Publisher:Noontide Press Release Date:1996 Seller Category:-- Qty Available:1 Condition:Used: Excellent Sku: 0939484471 Notes: (Hard to list as 'New' when it's 27 years old). Unread and unopened! Complete, shocking story of how, and why, the Soviet secret police massacred Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children. As head of the dynasty that had ruled Russia for three centuries, Nicholas II personified his land and people. His cold-blooded murder by order of Lenin and Sverdlov was thus symbolic of the Communist effort to obliterate a rich national and cultural heritage, and presaged the terrible Soviet bloodletting of later years. Dramatic yet meticulous account by a veteran British journalist and historian, based on the official on-site inquest of Russian investigator Nikolai Sokolov -- the most thorough ever conducted. As special correspondent in Russia for the London Times during the years of revolution and civil war, the author writes with authority and rare candor. He forthrightly assigns responsibility for the historic crime, showing the role of racial-ethnic revenge in motivating the killers. The crucial Jewish role in the Communist takeover of Russia and the early Bolshevik regime is detailed in an eye-opening introduction by historian Mark Weber, and an appendix by the author. Attractive, updated new edition of an authoritative but long-suppressed work. A generous selection of rare and revealing photographs supplements the text. ISBN 0-939484-47-1. Pb; 2nd printing. 210 pp; Photos, index. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
