About the book: 2007 / The authors of this book, for the most part, are terribly far from professional journalism. These are privates and lieutenants, adventurers and militants, random fellow travelers and prisoners - witnesses, participants, accomplices, heroes and victims of the war in Chechnya. Fights in the mountains and conversations in compartments, conversations on bunks and in zindans, skirmishes on roads and markets, in forests and cities. Unprofessional, unvarnished, trench truth... The book covers the entire period and entire geography of the Chechen war - from the New Year's assault on Grozny in 1995 to the battles with the Wahhabi underground in Dagestan in the summer of 2007.
