Overview

Chechnya: from Past to Future provides a historical framework against which it considers the most pressing issues raised by the struggle. These include: the rights and wrongs of Chechen secessionism; the role of Islamic and Western international agencies in defending human rights; the conduct of the war; changing perceptions of the war against the backdrop of international terrorism; democracy in Chechnya itself and the uncertain fate of democracy in Russia as a whole.

Synopsis

A remarkable collection of essays, considering every angle of the Chechen conflict.
