About this title: The first account written by a Russian woman of the Chechen conflict, "A Dirty War" is an edgy and intense study of a country in crisis.

"I have already read Babchenko's war memoir, and this only reinforces the horror of that book. Everyone involved in the tragedy of Chechnya was so terribly brutalized. This book killed me a little."
