Description
This Czech-language nonfiction book offers a firsthand view of the war in Chechnya experienced by Wojtek Jagielski, one of the most experienced contemporary Polish reporters. The conflict is presented as a strikingly current story of the same Russian mistakes, unwillingness to negotiate, disregard for civilian casualties and manipulation of facts that can be seen in the modern world. The book also guides readers through Chechnya, a country that may seem exotic to Central Europeans, exploring its Muslim society and the important role of faith in the war. It describes the Chechen mountaineers’ toughness, the different values of their traditional clan society, and a struggle for freedom shaped by honour, blood feuds and powerful family ties.
