The search for the fabulous legacy of the Romanoffs.
In 1914 Nicholas II was the richest man in the world. His fate, and that of his family, is now known. But what happened to his fabulous wealth? For this brilliantly researched account, Clarke interviewed surviving members of the family who are scattered all over Europe, as well as those who claim to be descendants of the Tsar. He has traced the history of the Romanoff wealth and how it was dispersed after 1918 when the Tsar and his family were murdered by the Bolsheviks. Several rescue attempts were mounted after the massacre to retrieve the assets from Russia, including one from Queen Mary who was the recipient of many of the Russian royal jewels. Now 'The Lost Fortune of the Tsars' takes you on a quest for the truth behind a fascinating and intriguing mystery.
