Summary

"Rescuing the Czar: Two authentic diaries arranged and translated by James P. Smythe" is a historical narrative that thrusts readers into the heart of the Russian Revolution and the desperate circumstances of Czar Nicholas II and his family after the First World War. Using firsthand accounts from authentic diaries, the story plunges into the lives of the royal family as their world collapses around them, filled with peril, deception, and a thirst for liberation. Beginning in 1917, with Russia on the brink of revolution, the story illuminates clueless women in the Winter Palace celebrating fake military success, completely unaware of the troubles brewing that are about to swallow them. As their opulent existence is brutally upended, the narrative charts betrayals, imprisonment, violence, and emotional and physical struggles. It leaves everyone questioning whether a daring plan to save them can succeed in the darkness of the revolution.
