The Angel of Grozny: Orphans of a Forgotten War by Åsne Seierstad

4.0

This was an incredibly thorough look at a country and a war that I confess to not being very familiar with. Sometimes, it was a little too thorough as I kept losing track of where we were and what she was saying and such. However, there is no doubt in my mind that this is an excellent book about a devastatingly sad situation. My heart breaks for all the people of Chechnya who are caught in the middle of this war and don't see a way out. It is just sad, there is really no other way to put it. I'm glad I read this book. It made me feel like a more informed person which is never a bad thing. Well-written and powerful.
