The Last Days of the Romanovs: How Tsar Nicholas II and Russia's Imperial Family Were Murdered_, first published in 1920 and republished here by the Institute for Historical Review, written by British journalist Robert Wilton is a fascinating account of the untimely murders of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his family which fully explores who was really behind these murders. Robert Wilton was the correspondent of the London Times in Russia for over 17 years and this book details his account of what happened to the Russian Tsar which led to the rise of Bolshevism. As Mark Weber notes in his Preface, while Russia was not without its problems during the time of the Tsar, his untimely murder and the murder of his own family was entirely unnecessary and indeed for many the Tsar has come to take on the status of a martyr.
