The Last Days of the Romanovs: Tragedy at Ekaterinburg by Helen Rappaport
3.0
I struggled to decide between 2 or 3 star rating.
I found the information fascinating, but the organization of the book was frustrating. The book is organized chronologically with the days leading up to the murder of the Romanov family. Unfortunately, the author also gives the background about members of the family in these chapters. So one would read pages of information about the Tsariata (for example) then literally 2 paragraphs about what happened on July 6, 1918. This was frustrating because it broke up the flow of events on the days before the murders took place with pages of background information. I would have much preferred the background information in their own chapters then a day-by-day characterization of events.
