Russian playwright and historian Radzinsky mines sources never before available to create a fascinating portrait of the monarch, and a minute-by-minute account of his terrifying last days. In the early hours of 17 July 1918, on the orders of Vladamir Lenin, Nicholas Romanov, the former Tsar of Russia, his wife Alexandra, their five children [Olga aged 22, Tatiana 21, Marie 19, Anastasia 17 and Alexei 13] and four of their servants were executed in the cellar of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg , Russia. As dawn approached, the bodies were thrown onto the back of a truck and driven to a forest on the outskirts of town. What happened to those bodies? How had the Tsar, his family and their retainers come to be murdered in such terrible circumstances? Why was Nicholas II, a man who ruled over one of the largest empires the world has ever seen, fated to be "The Last Tsar"? Ref LL 2. Seller Inventory # 033947
