Now, after more than a decade of research & detective work, Peter Kurth sheds startling new light on one of this century's most elusive puzzles: is Anna Anderson truly Anastasia? Based upon hitherto unavailable documents, scientific evidence & a file only recently discovered at Harvard University...unravels a story more shocking, more sinister, more heartbreaking & cruel than any dramatist would have dared to invent."
