About This Book

A compiler presents translated first-person diaries that claim an escape and rescue of the Czar and his family, juxtaposing eyewitness fragments with a foreword that questions official accounts of their fate. The material is arranged to read partly as a documentary record and partly as a gripping chronicle of clandestine operations, propaganda, and political calculation during revolutionary upheaval. Themes include the contest between monarchy and popular revolt, the use of rumor and commission reports, the dignity and suffering of those implicated, and the challenges historians face when piecing together contested, fragmentary testimony.
