The File on the Tsar

Authors of the book "The File on the Tsar" Anthony Summers and Tom Mangold discuss evidence about the fate of the Romanov family during the Russian Revolution. A mystery has existed for years about what happened to the Tsar and to his family. Evidence of suppressed documents and a coverup raise questions about what happened and when. There were multiple relationships between the Romanovs and German royalty and with British King George V. The guests discussed the validity of Anna Anderson's claim to be the Tsar's daughter Anastasia, but reach no conclusion.
