| Description: | Select Guide Rating Since the end of the Cold War, Chechnya has suffered two full-scale Russian military assaults. The casualties remain largely uncounted, and the fundamental issues at stake are routinely sidestepped in Russia and in the West. This title offers an argument for Chechen self-determination, and considers Russo-Chechen relations. The Case for Chechnya sharply criticizes the role of Western nations in their struggle, and lays bare the weakness—and shamefulness—of the arguments used to deny the Chechens’ right to sovereignty. Tony Wood considers Russo-Chechen relations over the past century and a half, as well as the fate of the region since the fall of the Soviet Union. |
