The Race to Save the Romanovs is an incredible detective story that uncovers the truth behind the secret plans to rescue Russia's Imperial family.
Helen Rappaport is a historian with a specialism in late Imperial Russia and the Victorians. She is the author of thirteen published books, including the Sunday Times bestseller Four Sisters- The Lost Lives of the Romanov Grand Duchesses; Ekaterinburg- The Last Days of the Romanovs and Caught in the Revolution- Petrograd, 1917. Helen is also historical consultant to the ITV drama series, Victoria and her books about the Victorians include Magnificent Obsession- Victoria, Albert and the Death that Changed the Monarchy.
I read The Race to Save the Romanovs in more or less in a
single sitting. It's absolutely marvellous - packed with
details, beautifully paced and told me lots of things I didn't
know. -- PETER FRANKOPAN
What I always love about Helen Rappaport's books is that they
appeal to the heart as well as the head. She's a writer of
great compassion. -- LUCY WORSLEY
A groundbreaking book... [which] prove[s] that, even as the
centenary of their deaths by firing squad at Ekaterinburg
approaches... there remain fresh angles and, crucially, unused
evidence pertaining to the Romanovs. * The Daily Telegraph *
Highly entertaining... Rappaport introduces us to a
colourful array of con men, charlatans and fantasists involved in
ideas to free the Romanovs... She is a vivid storyteller --
Victor Sebestyen * Sunday Times *
Gripping... Rappaport has uncovered many missing pieces
in the story, from the diplomatic wrangling over the tsar's
fate to a number of "hare-brained" rescue schemes hatched by
monarchist sympathisers. * The Times *
