Shay Mcneal
William Morrow, 2002
Really really - you must read for a complete view of the Rs

When I first became interested in the Romanovs I knew very little about Russian history so the context was difficult for me.

James B. Lovell
St. Martin's Griffin, 1995
I'm so glad I read this book.
+ A must-read for any skeptics!
+ An indepth study
I was a bit hesitant in deciding whether or not Anna Anderson was really Anastasiaor just another impostor. Yes, there was the DNA evidence, but I have always been a faith person and everything I'd read so far suggested she knew the things that only Anastasia would.
After reading this book, ...

Birch Lane Press, 1997
Outstanding Factual Book

This outstanding book focuses on the discovery and identification of the Romanov bones and the subsequent DNA testing. The book's strength lies in describing how the bones were found and not in the subjective non-scientific arguments as to whether Anna Anderson was Anastasia or Franziska ...

During her life, Alexandra was vilified by the Russian people, but Erickson's portrayal paints a different portrait of the last Czarina - one that will surprise those who don't know much about ...

A misleading title but a lovely book
+ Very nice book
+ Very nice book
This book is principly a photographic essay of the Romanov dynasty in the 19th century. The title is misleading, because you get the impression that it is all about Nicholas 2nd. However, a large chunk of this book is also devoted to earlier reigns. Full of clear and uncommon photos of the Romanov ...

I really enjoyed this book. I first became interested in the Romanovs when my 7th grade teacher read us excerpts from a biography. This was a compelling re-telling of the last days of the Tsar and his family, combining a glimpse of present day Russia and the dark and bloody days of 1918. I ...
