Chechnya: The Case for Independence - Softcover
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.

Review:
“A passionate and eloquent case for Chechen statehood, well researched and reasoned. Whatever one thinks of state sovereignty these days, this political project demands serious engagement, and his humanitarian concerns cannot be ignored.”—Georgi Derluguian
“Tony Wood’s book is an antidote to the prevailing wisdom that Chechnya’s rebels have always been nihilists and terrorists. He reminds us that a decade ago the Chechens were demanding nothing more than many other small peoples at the time of the Soviet breakup—statehood and a new start. In a world of cynicism and ignorance, Wood offers facts that many will find inconvenient and lays out an argument for which many thousands of Chechens—mistakenly or not—suffered and gave their lives.”—Sebastian Smith

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. New copy - Usually dispatched within 4 working days. 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. Seller Inventory # B9781844671144
