A Dirty War
By Anna Politkovskaya
A Russian Journalist who travelled in Chechnya.
It takes a critical look at the war and both sides and the people in the middle.
The interviews with the soldiers are extremely interesting and relate to other things I have heard about not only the conscripts but the contract soldiers as well.
It also gives a lot of detail on who is making money out of this war on both sides.
It bears out my own theory and that of a few Russian experts I know that this war is a poisoned two bladed dagger aimed at Russia as well as at the North Caucasus.
Read it even if only to trash it.
