16 July 1918: the Tsar,Tsarina and their children were murdered in Ekaterinburg-or were they? Two top BBC investigative reporters spent five years combing through conflicting accounts, discovering forged and missing evidence, and unearthing dramatic new documents on the fate of the Romanovs. Through these major discoveries they show that the Tsarina and her daughters almost certainly escaped execution, becoming instead pawns in an international power game; that "Anastasia's" claim does deserve serious consideration; and most astonishing of all, that sixty years later the true facts are being covered up at the highest level.
