Over the years, Bersanov published numerous books, many of which were tailored to a younger audience: "In the Wake of the Father" (1971) dealt with the experiences of Soviet World War II veterans, and the novels "Spring" (1979) and "Golden Ring" (1979) explored the lives of the veterans' sons. "Horseman Steel Horse" (1983) recounted the exploits of Chechen resistance during the Caucasian War and the history of the Chechen people during peacetime. "Friendship, Bonded by Blood" (1986) told of the friendship between Chechen war veteran Magomed Gaysurkaev and Russian Ivan Shumov, and probably his best-known book, "Treasure of Wisdom, the Path to Happiness" (1990), painted a reflective discourse on the Chechen code of honor. The book's circulation soon exceeded five million, and drew glowing reviews from literary editors worldwide.
