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.

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
*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*
An intriguing work of investigative writing
*New York Journal of Books*
An eye-opening, entertaining and energetically researched story
*Daily Express*
