One Soldiers War in Chechnya

Book cover
Of all recent wars, Chechnya is the cruellest. The savagery of both sides was fuelled by fanaticism, incompetence, confusion and atavistic hatreds. The Chechens perverted proud warrior traditions into the sadistic and taunting torture of any Russian they captured. The Russian conscripts, untrained, immature and terrified, killed women, children and villagers indiscriminately because they had little idea of what they were doing or how to survive in such hostile terrain.In fact there were two Chechen wars, 1994–96 and 1999–2000, although this second one arguably continues still. The outside world knew little of either. Reporting the conflict was exceptionally dangerous.
