Summary: The book was great, But...
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book. Ever since I saw the animated film and the old 1956 movie, Anastasia, I have been interested in the whole mystery. Peter Kurth wrote a great book and did good research but I don't believe that Anna Anderson was really Anastasia. First of all I must say Anna Anderson looks NOTHING like Anastasia, and I wonder why everyone says she does. I see NO resemblence what so ever. Also the DNA proves that Anna Anderson was not even related to the Romanov family and that should count for something, I mean it is only DNA! On top of all that don't you think that the Bolshvik soldiers would be more responsible and make sure that the ENTIRE family was dead, after going through the trouble to murder them. It would be nice if Anastasia had survived but it just isn't realistic.

Summary: A Grand Book for a Grand Duchess!
Comment: It was a great pleasure for me to read Peter Kurth's book. I have read most of the books written about the Anna Anderson/Anastasia affair and I find Mr. Kurth's book to be the best due to the extensive amount of research he has performed. Although the DNA "evidence" has concluded that Anna Anderson Manahan was a polish factory worker...I still believe that she was indeed Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicolaevna Romanov. I would highly recommend Peter Kurth's book to anyone interested in this subject because it provides an opportunity to learn about all of the other overwhelming evidence in Mrs. Manahan's favor that contradicts the DNA results.

Summary: DNA test prove that Anna Anderson was NOT Anastasia
Comment: I read this book about 15 years ago and found it fascinating. Fortunately or unfortunately, the "riddle" has been solved: DNA tests run subsequent to the book's publication prove with virtual certainty that Anna Anderson was not Anastasia, so the "cat's out of the bag" before you read the first sentence. It's actually a shame because I did very much enjoy the book before the information came out.
