The Resurrection of the Romanovs: Anastasia, Anna Anderson, and the World's Greatest Royal Mystery de Peter Kenny

The Resurrection of the Romanovs: Anastasia, Anna Anderson, and the World's Greatest Royal Mystery

Peter Kenny Autor Greg King, Penny Wilson
en Limba Engleză Digital – 20 mar 2018 – vârsta de la 18 ani
The passage of more than ninety years and the publication of hundreds of books in dozens of languages has not extinguished an enduring interest in the mysteries surrounding the 1918 execution of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his family. The Resurrection of the Romanovs draws on a wealth of new information from previously unpublished materials and unexplored sources to probe the most enduring Romanov mystery of all: the fate of the Tsar's youngest daughter, Anastasia, whose remains were not buried with those of her family, and her identification with Anna Anderson, the woman who claimed to be the missing Grand Duchess. Refuting long-accepted evidence in the Anderson case, The Resurrection of the Romanovs finally explodes the greatest royal mystery of the twentieth-century. Covers the subject so thoroughly and so honestly that this is almost certainly the last book that needs to be written. -Robert K. Massie, author of Nicholas and Alexandra
