Summary: Robert K. Massie's books are wonderful reads
Comment: Another well-written book by Robert K. Massie about the Romanov family and their tragic fate. The book begins at the death of the romanovs and explaining in great detail their death, and how their bodys were hidden for so many years. It present's evidence about people claiming to be the romanovs themself - even one of the most famous - Anna Anderson. It points out both sides to those who do and do not believe she was Anastasia Romanov. I myself do not velieve that she was due to the evidence this book presents - DNA, and how her story does not hold up at all. This is a wonderful book!
Check out Nicholas & Alexandra, Anastasia'a Album, and the Last Tsar as well.

Summary: Wonderful book about the discovery of the Romanov remains
Comment: A wonderful historical-scientific-mystery surrounding the discovery of nine skeletons dug up in Siberia in 1991. Were these the remain of the last czar of Russia, NicholasII and his family and servants? Author Robert K. Massie takes you step-by-step through the political, scientific, and legal haggeling over these remains. Quite a bit of the book is dedicated to "Anna Anderson", the woman who for several decades claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia, the czar's youngest daughter. The author makes several references that this woman, whom he rightly calls "the claimant" closely resembled the Grand Duchess. Yet the photographs in the book are mostly of the modern day scientist who identified the nine skeletons. This reader would have preferred some photos comparing the two women. Some readers may become confused by the huge amount of people (and names) involved with the identification of the Romanov remains. Many of the long resumes of the scientists involved would have best been left for an appendix. The very last chapter of the book, which ties into the first chapter beautifully, describes a close, loving family during the last weeks, days, and hours of their lives. This lovely, sad ending to this well written book helped this reviewer see the Romanovs as real people, not just as the thoughtless royalty history has portrayed them or at the mysterious bones they left behind

Summary: The Romanovs: The Final Chapter by Robert K. Massie
Comment: This is a wonderful edition to any Romanov/Russian History/Grand Duchess Anastasia/Anna Anderson Libary. This book scientificly proves that Anna Anderson was NOT Her Imperial Highness, The Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaievna, but more of the simple, mentally deranged, and wanton Polish peasant, Franziska Shankowvska. It speaks of Tzar Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tzaritsa Alexandra Feodroevna (Princess Alix of Hesse), Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria (Marie, Mashka),and Anastasia Nikolaievna, and Tsarevich Aleksey and of course Anna Anderson/Franziska Shankowvska. It speaks of the many men and women who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia and Tsarevich Alexei and the other, less over publisized Grand Duchesses (Olga, Tatiana and Maria.)
