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 one hundredth anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the Imperial Family will be a huge ceremony attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. While the murder itself has received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots 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 accusation that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional claim 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 United States, Russia, Spain ,and the United Kingdom, 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 With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the

assassination of the archduke","In the summer of 1914, three great empires dominated Europe: Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. Four years later all had vanished in the chaos of World War I. One event precipitated the conflict, and at its heart was a tragic love story. When Austrian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand married for love against the wishes of the emperor, he and his wife Sophie were humiliated and shunned, yet they remained devoted to each other and to their children. The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and decades of conflict. Challenging a century of myth, this moving portrait of the end of an era also offers the startling truth behind the Sarajevo assassinations--including Serbian complicity--and examines rumors of conspiracy and official negligence.--From publisher description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pdrfyn0x2vx6hqnvh2m22.jpg?v=738ff85ac7","L04-;A0e00M|^+M|0LWV00?H?F-o",2013,384,[155,159],{"id":156,"slug":157,"name":158},"01kx6pdrfrev9d852607s3xmxf","greg-king-hcww","Greg King",{"id":160,"slug":161,"name":162},"01kx6nacznktxab0tnp6kdfx1r","sue-woolmans-xowp","Sue Woolmans",[164,165,166,167,171],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":168,"name":169,"slug":170,"is_fiction":20},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":174,"themes":176,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[137,138,175],"melancholic",[],{"id":178,"slug":179,"title":180,"description":181,"primary_cover_url":182,"cover_blurhash":183,"first_publish_year":184,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":185,"authors":186,"genres":191,"series":207,"enrichment":208},"01kx6nw816rybrtd9hgpa0mt5c","to-end-all-wars-aobn","To End All Wars","To End All Wars tells the story of the First World War in Britain through the people who fought it and the people who refused to.

Now a journalist is following them. When Stieg Larsson died, the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had been working on a true mystery that out-twisted his Millennium novels: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister. It was the first time in history that a head of state had been murdered without a clue who'd done it--and on a Stockholm street at point-blank range. Internationally known for his fictional villains, Larsson was well acquainted with their real-life counterparts and documented extremist activities throughout the world. For years he'd been amassing evidence that linked their terrorist acts to what he called \"one of the most astounding murder cases\" he'd ever covered. Larsson's archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author's secret project. In The Man Who Played with Fire, Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson's true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world's most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24qp74ghhkeb2y0q5hd7zr.jpg?v=e13a6d24d3","L58;Y[tS0MWB{c-pJ8RjHYsmtRt6",2019,488,[299],{"id":300,"slug":301,"name":302},"01kx24qp70y5yfa0qj3kp7pkhq","jan-stocklassa-pbwk","Jan Stocklassa",[304,305,306,307],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":168,"name":169,"slug":170,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":310,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":311,"themes":313,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},"fast",[312,138],"mysterious",[],{"id":315,"slug":316,"title":317,"description":318,"primary_cover_url":319,"cover_blurhash":320,"first_publish_year":152,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":321,"authors":322,"genres":327,"series":332,"enrichment":333},"01kx6nsyvfcxdgm91mpfdj7kbn","five-days-in-november-imgl","Five Days In November","On November 22, 1963, Clint Hill was riding in the presidential motorcade in Dallas, assigned to protect First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, when President John F.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",2020,506,[347],{"id":348,"slug":349,"name":350},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[352,353,354,358,359],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":355,"name":356,"slug":357,"is_fiction":20},79,"Education","education",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":360,"name":361,"slug":362,"is_fiction":20},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":132,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":365,"themes":367,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[138,366,211],"dark",[368],"mystery-box",{"id":370,"slug":371,"title":372,"description":10,"primary_cover_url":373,"cover_blurhash":374,"first_publish_year":375,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":376,"authors":377,"genres":382,"series":386,"enrichment":387},"01kx6nhr0107r1fpwtdnvbj0tn","the-lonely-empress-sbl5","The lonely empress","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nhr0jmk0jjnsq16w6f7t5.jpg?v=2923a01acb","LFD0Pn4V02~o0L-.?Z9ajGR+%0WC",1965,462,[378],{"id":379,"slug":380,"name":381},"01kx6nhr0ehr992b0bb2tqhv4p","joan-haslip-lqvp","Joan Haslip",[383,384,385],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":234,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":388,"themes":389,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[175,210],[],{"id":391,"slug":392,"title":393,"description":394,"primary_cover_url":395,"cover_blurhash":396,"first_publish_year":397,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":185,"authors":398,"genres":403,"series":409,"enrichment":410},"01kqbtbts19g5nfgr75kfcnrst","truevine-two-brothers-a-kidnapping-and-a-mothers-quest-a-true-story-of-the-jim-crow-south-p2ma","Truevine: Two Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Mother's Quest: A True Story of the Jim Crow South","This true story uncovers the remarkable lives of two albino African American brothers who were kidnapped and forced to perform in a circus during the Jim Crow South.

As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",2016,368,[463],{"id":464,"slug":465,"name":466},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[468,469,473,477],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":470,"name":471,"slug":472,"is_fiction":20},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":474,"name":475,"slug":476,"is_fiction":20},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":360,"name":361,"slug":362,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":480,"themes":481,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[211,210],[],{"id":483,"slug":484,"title":485,"description":486,"primary_cover_url":487,"cover_blurhash":488,"first_publish_year":460,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":489,"authors":490,"genres":495,"series":499,"enrichment":500},"01kx6p7b45yn9xda66r5t2tpyk","chernobyl-012340-fdhe","Chernobyl 01:23:40","At 01:23:40 on April 26, 1986, an operator pressed the emergency shutdown button at Chernobyl's fourth reactor — the moment that triggered the world's worst nuclear disaster, forced the permanent evacuation of a city, and crippled the Soviet Union.\n\nDrawing on five years of research, Andrew Leatherbarrow gives an accessible, comprehensive account of what actually happened: the fight to stop a burning reactor core from irradiating eastern Europe, the men who worked in radiation fields so intense that machines failed, the truth behind the \"Chernobyl diver\" legend, and the USSR's eventual show trial.

As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the \"Angel of Death\" who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler's brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel \"Butcher of Lyon\"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled \"Nazi hunters.\" This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death.

A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--\"the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.\" By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today.

The book also takes up the peacemakers' long-disputed legacy, arguing against the popular narrative that the Treaty of Versailles and its reparations set an inevitable course toward the Second World War.\n\nPublished in the UK as Peacemakers: The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and Its Attempt to End War, the book won the Duff Cooper Prize and the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize for history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pexpwr8sf3s71w22x1wrj.jpg?v=1675d61fd2","LVH.NTofxuRj00ofRjWB~qofofj[",2003,[612],{"id":613,"slug":614,"name":615},"01kx6nz5zwf7gzakjh7byz8vvg","margaret-olwen-macmillan-kiyd","Margaret Olwen Macmillan",[617,618,619],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":474,"name":475,"slug":476,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":622,"themes":624,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[137,211,623],"intellectual",[],{"id":626,"slug":627,"title":628,"description":629,"primary_cover_url":630,"cover_blurhash":631,"first_publish_year":632,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":633,"authors":634,"genres":642,"series":647,"enrichment":653},"01kx6p7t5g79k4v0sm004ft9e7","the-russian-revolution-aqel","The Russian Revolution","A concise history of the Russian Revolution in the broadest sense: not only the upheavals of 1917 but the social transformation the Bolsheviks carried out after taking power.

The century since the end of the Napoleonic wars had been the most peaceful era Europe had known since the fall of the Roman Empire. In the first years of the twentieth century, Europe believed it was marching to a golden, happy, and prosperous future. But instead, complex personalities and rivalries, colonialism and ethnic nationalisms, and shifting alliances helped to bring about the failure of the long peace and the outbreak of a war that transformed Europe and the world. The War That Ended Peace brings vividly to life the military leaders, politicians, diplomats, bankers, and the extended, interrelated family of crowned heads across Europe who failed to stop the descent into war: in Germany, the mercurial Kaiser Wilhelm II and the chief of the German general staff, Von Moltke the Younger; in Austria-Hungary, Emperor Franz Joseph, a man who tried, through sheer hard work, to stave off the coming chaos in his empire; in Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife; in Britain, King Edward VII, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, and British admiral Jacky Fisher, the fierce advocate of naval reform who entered into the arms race with Germany that pushed the continent toward confrontation on land and sea. There are the would-be peacemakers as well, among them prophets of the horrors of future wars whose warnings went unheeded: Alfred Nobel, who donated his fortune to the cause of international understanding, and Bertha von Suttner, a writer and activist who was the first woman awarded Nobel's new Peace Prize. Here too we meet the urbane and cosmopolitan Count Harry Kessler, who noticed many of the early signs that something was stirring in Europe; the young Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty and a rising figure in British politics; Madame Caillaux, who shot a man who might have been a force for peace; and more. With indelible portraits, MacMillan shows how the fateful decisions of a few powerful people changed the course of history. MacMillan's central argument is that the outbreak of the First World War was not a foregone conclusion, but the outcome of specific choices and failures by Europe's leaders. - Publisher.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nz609ka92ydt7r6ckbpr8.jpg?v=d1a50c8930","LFIhNr~qt7%2nlNH~WIVx]SN^kE1",762,[680],{"id":613,"slug":614,"name":615},[682,683,684,685],{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":199,"name":200,"slug":201,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":10,"audience":135,"mood":688,"themes":689,"setting_period":10,"summary":690,"content_warnings":10},[137,211],[],"A narrative history of Europe from 1900 to the outbreak of World War I, tracing how the continent's longest era of peace since the Roman Empire collapsed into catastrophe.
