The world was told that the last Tsar of Russia and his family were butchered in the 'cellar massacre' at Ekaterinburg in 1918. Yet diplomats and reporters did not believe it. And the longest court case of the century failed to explode Anna Anderson's claim to be the Tsar's youngest daughter, Grand Duchess Anastasia. Anthony Summers and Tom Mangold spent five years tracking down witnesses and long-lost documents. The search led to Moscow, Tokyo and Washington and their persistence finally paid off when they found a suppressed official dossier - the File on the Tsar. It shows that the public was fed a lie. The Romanovs did not all die at Ekaterinburg, but became pawns in an international power game, involving Lenin, the Kaiser, the British Royal Family and British Intelligence. And in London, over 80 years later, the cover-up goes on.… (more)

One of the world's greatest regicides. ( )

1431 The File on the Tsar, by Anthony Summers - Tom Mangold (read 24 Jan 1977) This is not too well-written and its research is not very vigorous, but it does deal at length with a topic that has engaged my greatest interest: "What happened at Ekaterinberg?" The authors' thesis is that the Tsar and maybe his son were executed there, but the Tsarina and the four daughters were not, but were moved to Perm, and later moved again with no idea of what became of them. The author believed Anna Anderson was Anastasia. This whole subject in those years excited my great interest, but it seems now that they were all killed there and the subject does not have the interest for me that it had in 1977. ( )
