Chechnya: The Case for Independence

Pretty sus of the people that gave the book 1 star........Wood's writing was definitely not that bad and he makes his case pretty clear. Just say you don't want Chechnya to be independent and go.

I appreciated how comprehensive the book was despite its length and he has a very measured approach with each chapter. It is a bit dated now but does a good overview of Chechen history and Soviet/Russian atrocities in the nation without going down the rabbit hole. I just wish he would've written more on civilians. I never really felt like I got an image of people with actual flesh and blood. More just the idea of them.
