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 With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the Romanovs\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p157en4z1j0k6jparp25v.jpg?v=5b35880d25","L?O3^HWBkCt7~qofkCWBD%j[jZj[",2018,"5.00",1,400,[108],{"id":109,"slug":110,"name":111},"01kp7nctk2ryhpjtmwszpre5z1","helen-rappaport-r6iu","Helen Rappaport",[113,114,115,116],{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":28},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":16},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":16},{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":16},104,"True Crime","true-crime",[],{"pace":83,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":122,"themes":125,"setting_period":7,"summary":126,"content_warnings":7},[123,124],"informative","tense",[],"Historian Helen Rappaport investigates the failed efforts to rescue Tsar Nicholas II and his family before their July 1918 execution, drawing on previously unseen archival material from Russia, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom to reassess why the various rescue plots by royal relatives and foreign governments never succeeded.",{"id":128,"slug":129,"title":130,"description":131,"primary_cover_url":132,"cover_blurhash":133,"first_publish_year":134,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":135,"authors":136,"genres":141,"series":157,"enrichment":158},"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.

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,[173,177],{"id":174,"slug":175,"name":176},"01kx6pdrfrev9d852607s3xmxf","greg-king-hcww","Greg King",{"id":178,"slug":179,"name":180},"01kx6nacznktxab0tnp6kdfx1r","sue-woolmans-xowp","Sue Woolmans",[182,183,184,185,189],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":16},{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":28},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":16},{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":16},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":83,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":192,"themes":193,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[123,124,86],[],{"id":195,"slug":196,"title":197,"description":198,"primary_cover_url":199,"cover_blurhash":200,"first_publish_year":201,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":202,"authors":203,"genres":208,"series":212,"enrichment":213},"01kx6nsqmk5md3gnk5ktmefg11","once-a-grand-duchess-px5h","Once a grand duchess","Important new archive of material including letters, postcards, photographs, and other Romanov documents allows a biography of Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia (a member of the last Tsar family) to be produced.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nsqn2bh3sgem5nmjc22sh.jpg?v=7ce4f01ade","LMKCz_Rj?^%gMxofx]kC?vx[IUIB",2002,269,[204],{"id":205,"slug":206,"name":207},"01kx6nn6dvj8sj5y128pb3p81k","john-van-der-kiste-lzhy","John Van der Kiste",[209,210,211],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":16},{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":28},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":214,"themes":215,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[86,87],[],{"id":217,"slug":218,"title":219,"description":220,"primary_cover_url":221,"cover_blurhash":222,"first_publish_year":223,"community_rating_avg":104,"community_rating_count":105,"page_count":224,"authors":225,"genres":230,"series":238,"enrichment":239},"01kx6nb37r32rz79hbsx8ex23n","the-last-grand-duchess-bnx7","The last grand-duchess","Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna When she died in exile in 1960, Olga Alexandrovna was the last Grand Duchess of Russia, the favorite sister of Czar Nicholas II who was executed with his wife and five children during the Revolution.

The book follows Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra, their four daughters — Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia — and their hemophiliac son and heir, Alexei, whose illness the family kept hidden from the public and drew them toward the mystic Grigori Rasputin.\n\nFleming alternates between the isolated, opulent life of the imperial court and first-person accounts from Russian peasants, factory workers, and soldiers, documenting the inequality, famine, and military failures of World War I that fed growing unrest. The narrative covers the 1905 uprising, the rise of revolutionary movements, the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, and the family's imprisonment and eventual execution during the Russian Revolution.\n\nPublished in 2014, the book is a work of young-adult narrative nonfiction built from primary-source documents and photographs.

It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin.

Nowhere in Europe has the Roman Catholic Church exerted a more mystical hold on the life of a nation than it has in Spain. Yet this hold has not been unchanging or unchallenged. By the mid-eighteenth century the Church was no longer the only legitimate source of authority, the all-pervasive presence that it had been, most forcefully in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Still, its power remained formidable. The Spanish Church imposed standards of conduct over the entire range of society, from the aristocracy to the peasant masses, and it possessed the material resources necessary to maintain an elaborate ecclesiastical network that influenced every aspect of Spanish life. The heart of the book deals with the reactions of the Church to the dramatic, sometimes violent, changes that occurred during the critical nineteenth-century period of national transition from royal absolutism to popular liberalism. The study examines the responses of the Church to the new social and political forces that could no longer be excluded or contained, among them an emergent secular--even anticlerical--culture and a developing capitalism.Callahan demonstrates that these changes engendered resentments and frustrations deep within the ecclesiastical order that persisted well into the twentieth century, notably with the Spanish Church's embrace of Franco.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t.jpg?v=40f5ef3581","LwKSg$WDoKxW~8jHR+WV%JWCsmWp",1998,"1.00",[586],{"id":587,"slug":588,"name":589},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[591,592],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":16},{"id":593,"name":594,"slug":595,"is_fiction":16},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":598,"themes":599,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[87,404],[],{"id":601,"slug":602,"title":603,"description":604,"primary_cover_url":605,"cover_blurhash":606,"first_publish_year":607,"community_rating_avg":608,"community_rating_count":105,"page_count":609,"authors":610,"genres":615,"series":619,"enrichment":620},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.
