The Race to Save the Romanovs by Helen Rappaport Pdf
In this international bestseller investigating the murder of the Russian Imperial Family, Helen Rappaport embarks on a quest to uncover the various plots and plans to save them, why they failed, and who was responsible. The murder of the Romanov family in July 1918 horrified the world, and its aftershocks still reverberate today. In Putin's autocratic Russia, the Revolution itself is considered a crime, and its anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the Imperial Family was commemorated in 2018 by a huge ceremony attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. While the murders themselves have received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots and plans behind the scenes to save the family—on the part of their royal relatives, other governments, and Russian monarchists loyal to the Tsar. Rappaport refutes the claim that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional view for the last century. The responsibility for failing the Romanovs must be equally shared. The question of asylum for the Tsar and his family was an extremely complicated issue that presented enormous political, logistical and geographical challenges at a time when Europe was still at war. Like a modern day detective, Helen Rappaport draws on new and never-before-seen sources from archives in the US, Russia, Spain and the UK, creating a powerful account of near misses and close calls with a heartbreaking conclusion. With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the Romanovs.

Rescuing Nicholas by Ben Everidge Pdf
For over 400 years the Tsars ruled Russia. Nicholas II would be the last. History convincingly says that the Romanov family was murdered by rebellious Bolshevik soldiers. Executed to secure power for a new revolution led by the notorious Vladimir Lenin. Rumors of their survival lived on. Seventy years later, their remains were finally discovered in a hidden grave deep in a conveniently remote forest. Russia closed the investigation into their assassination. History needed the Romanovs dead.But there was an eyewitness. A U.S. Army soldier from Knoxville, Tennessee, who spent a remarkable two weeks with Nicholas, Alexandra, and a Grand Duchess, aboard an American Red Cross train sixteen months after they were said to have been brutally killed. A credible eyewitness who left a previously undisclosed 45-minute recorded account that tells a very different side to the Romanov lore than what history now reports. Rescuing Nicholas, as remembered by the soldier¿s family, is Martin Hutson¿s story of perhaps the greatest unknown rescue mission in history. Hidden for a century. Led by an American president and a king of England. Kept secret from Congress and Parliament. Supported by an intriguing cast of talented accomplices: The president¿s son-in-law, the former head of the U.S. Secret Service; the American secretary of war; an iconic American commanding general, Black Jack Pershing; his right hand, West Point¿s Major General William Sidney Graves; a United States Consul General in Siberia; a wealthy American industrialist from Chicago; a handful of experienced railroad men from the American Midwest; daring soldiers from the U.S. Army¿s American Expeditionary Force Siberia; a future White House resident; and a number of surprising British dignitaries including a future prime minister.Lies. Loyalty. Family. War. Mystery. Tsar. Power. Bribery. Bloody murder. This book digs in to it all and explores in depth why Nicholas Romanov ¿died . . . so that he could live.¿ It is a true story found buried deep in the American and British archives. But, will history care 100 years later?

Nicholas Winton and the Rescued Generation by Muriel Emanuel,Vera Gissing Pdf
"For half a century these children, now dispersed and in their sixties and seventies, were unaware of the person to whom they owed their lives. To Winton, it was 'just a job'. Even his wife knew nothing of what is undoubtably his greatest achievement, until 1988, when clearing out the attic she came across documentation relating to the episode. From that moment, Winton's life was never the same again.".

Myths of Europe by Anonim Pdf
Myths of Europe focuses on the identity of Europe, seeking to re-assess its cultural, literary and political traditions in the context of the 21st century. Over 20 authors – historians, political scientists, literary scholars, art and cultural historians – from five countries here enter into a debate. How far are the myths by which Europe has defined itself for centuries relevant to its role in global politics after 9/11? Can ‘Old Europe’ maintain its traditional identity now that the European Union includes countries previously supposed to be on its periphery? How has Europe handled relations with the non-European Other in the past and how is it reacting now to an influx of immigrants and asylum seekers? It becomes clear that founding myths such as Hamlet and St Nicholas have helped construct the European consciousness but also that these and other European myths have disturbing Eurocentric implications. Are these myths still viable today and, if so, to what extent and for what purpose? This volume sits on the interface between culture and politics and is important reading for all those interested in the transmission of myth and in both the past and the future of Europe.

The Last of the Tsars by Robert Service Pdf
‘A timely and important book . . . he brings to it rare clarity and common sense. His book is a fast-paced account of the last sixteen months of the tsar’s life; brief, sharp, but laced with well-judged feeling for the dramas of the time.’ Catherine Merridale, Observer In March 1917, Nicholas II, the last Tsar of All the Russias, abdicated and the dynasty that had ruled an empire for three hundred years was forced from power by revolution. In this masterful and forensic study, Robert Service examines the last year Nicholas's reign and the months between that momentous abdication and his death, with his family, in Ekaterinburg in July 1918. Drawing on the Tsar's own diaries and other hitherto unexamined contemporary records, The Last of the Tsars reveals a man who was almost entirely out of his depth, perhaps even willfully so. It is also a compelling account of the social, economic and political foment in Russia in the aftermath of Alexander Kerensky's February Revolution, the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 and the beginnings of Lenin's Soviet republic.
