War in the Shadows: Russia and Chechnya
This book discusses the war in Chechnya, whether to classify it as the "forgotten genocide of the 21st century", such as Anna Politkovskaya suggested, or a legitimate "war on terror", as Russia's president Vladimir Putin asserted. A victim to the war has also been civil society in Russia. Only few journalists still dare write critique on the subject. Newspapers and television stations were closed. The war, waged atrociously by both sides, occurred to the most extent under the exclusion of the public. In this book, Russian, Chechenian and Western authors approach the complex truth of the war.
