The Angel Of Grozny: Inside Chechnya By Asne Seierstad

Posted at 5:02PM Thursday 13 Mar 2008

The Angel of Grozny, is about both Seierstad's first experience of war and her return to the brutalised land a decade later. Filled with terrible stories of "children who have lost their parents and parents who have lost their children", it is a story told very much from the Chechen point of view.
