Opis

This study shows that the Russian invasion of Chechnya in 1994 represented the culmination of a crisis that was perceived as a threat not only to the stability of the North Caucasus region, but also to the very foundations of Russian security.

Recenzje

'This book should not be left to historians or regional experts. Its main value arguably lies in its readable but reliable chronicling, and its restrained but authoritative analysis of processes a decade ago which have a profound impact today, and not just in Russia and Chechnya.' - SEER
