Title: The Plots to Rescue the Tsar
Description: London, Century. 2001, First Edition. (ISBN: 0712680292). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 32 illustrations.The tragic tale of the Romanovs is well known : how on 17th July 1918 the Tsar, the Tsarina, their four daughters and sick son were led down to a basement in Ekaterinburg and murdered in cold blood by a Bolshevik firing squad. The DNA analysis and identification of the bones were the conclusive proof the world was waiting for, and the case considered closed - until now. The author's controversial, groundbreaking new account challenges this accepted view, and she presents convincing new scientific analysis questioning the authenticity of the 'Romanov' bones and uncovers an extraordinary tale of espionage and double dealing that has been kept secret for more than 80 years. Based on the extensive study of Allied and Bolshevik documents, including recently declassified intelligence files, McNeal reveals the existence of a shadowy group of intelligence working at the highest levels of Allied, Bolshevik and German governments to free the Imperial family and guide them to safety. Most controversially of all, she believes that one of these plots may, possibly, have succeeded - and she has compelling ecvidence to support it. L. Fine/Near Fine.
