Race to Save the Romanovs: The Truth Behind the Secret Plans to Rescue the Russian Imperial Family | 
pickWell, it wasn't a race ... the author captures the political atmosphere of that time very well, on the basis of some newly available/discovered documents she also summarizes the (in)activity of diplomacy, governments, monarchs and dispels some myths related to this family. A very detailed survey ends with the question - if the family would even want to leave the Russia?! I recommend it to anyone who is interested in this period ...👇
Simona .... but the book can be difficult to read because of all the names and persons involved. 4y

Cinfhen I own this one, but I‘m a little afraid of it 🙀 4y
Librarybelle This is on my to read list! 4y
Simona @Cinfhen @Librarybelle Really, the only downside is the abundance of all the names, and that‘s not the author‘s fault🤷♀️ 4y
Cinfhen I‘m worried it‘s academic and dry??!? 4y
Simona @Cinfhen Not academic at all, some smaller parts are more on the dryer side, that‘s true, but it is still very readable. My concern is - if you aren‘t familiar with European history, the names could be troublesome. 4y
Cinfhen That COULD be a problem 😬😘 European History isn‘t my forte 😉 4y
Simona You know enough @Cinfhen that you will understand how self-righteous asses were European monarchs, blaming each other 😘 4y
Cinfhen Thanks, Simona! I definitely can recognize A-Holes 😘 4y
