Description: "Written by a former journalist with extensive experience of the former Soviet Union, the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, this book charts the bitter and bloodthirsty history between Russia and the Chechens and seeks to explain why the recent outbreaks of warfare between the two peoples took place.

In doing so, the author argues a series of points about the nature of Soviet politics and Soviet armed forces, and the successes and failures of the transition from communist to post-communist political values after 1991."--BOOK JACKET.
