Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. ![]() The book starts rather innocuously with the story of the Cherkessians from the first half of the 20the century. Whilst this is certainly a dramatic story, it is sometimes tiresome that the author veers between great historic sweeps and minute detail of specific events. But this style really works for the second part of this book, which concentrates on the Chechen wars in the 1990's. The personal involvement of the author paints a vivid picture of the conflict and the atrocities committed. Strongly recommended on that basis. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:The jagged peaks of the Caucasus Mountains have hosted a rich history of diverse nations, valuable trade, and incessant warfare. But today the region is best known for atrocities in Chechnya and the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia. In Let Our Fame Be Great, journalist and Russian expert Oliver Bullough explores the fascinating cultural crossroads of the Caucasus, where Europe, Asia, and the Middle East intersect. Traveling through its history, Bullough tracks down the nations dispersed by the regionâ??s last two hundred years of brutal warfare. Filled with a compelling mix of archival research and oral history, Let Our Fame Be Great recounts the tenacious survival of peoples who have been relentlessly invaded and persecuted and yet woefully overlooked.
