Overview
In 1994, the mountain territory of Chechnya was witness to the largest military campaign staged on Russian soil since World War II. The Russo-Chechen war is examined within the context of the bitter history between the two peoples, culminating in the expression of conflict from 1994-1996.Editorials
Booknews
Rather than an account of the war, this thoughtful and well-researched study attempts to put the current war in a historical perspective, showing that some of the most important reasons for the war lay in Moscow and age-old Russian-Chechen politics and mutual distrust. The roots and nature of this distrust are examined in detail in the lengthy initial historical narrative. The 1994-1996 war and its causes take up another two-thirds of the book; Seely (a journalist) discusses the 1999-2000 war in a lengthy afterword. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c.
