There has to be some spin in there somewhere. What interest does a popular periodical have in history other than to re-write it?

No spin, the Daily Mail is a mid range paper aimed at a middle class, conservative, readership, this is from the Saturday edition which frequently reviews books or has interesting historical articles to interest Mr and Mrs Average of 22 Acacia Avenue, Suburbia, England over their tea and crumpets on a Saturday morning before they go shopping or potter about the garden.

All quite civilised really.

“There they would face a firing squad just 78 days later - and exactly 90 years ago this week.

To coincide with that anniversary, their last wretched days have been chronicled in an explosive new book.

Using previously overlooked documents and witness accounts, it tells the story of the family’s final moments in unprecedented detail.”

The anniversary of the their deaths, the new book out, and the fact that just recently, the bodies of Maria and Alexei were positively identified, most likely.
