The Romanovs: The Final Chapter
In July 1991, nine skeletons were exhumed near Ekaterinburg, Siberia, close to where the last tsar and his family were murdered. This book investigates whether these were the Romanovs' bones and the whereabouts of the two missing younger Romanovs. It also addresses the long-standing question of whether Anna Anderson was truly Grand Duchess Anastasia.
Pulitzer Prize winner Robert K. Massie details the dramatic efforts to uncover the truth, presenting a panorama of characters and the scientific dispute between Russian and American experts, whose DNA findings helped solve one of the twentieth century's great mysteries.
