 Bump for a very old thread but can anyone recommend anything on the Chechen conflict?

Fangs of the Lone Wolf covers the tactics and strategies of the Chechens and Russians from 1994-2009.

One soldier's war is the account of Arkady Babchenko who was conscripted into the Russian army the First War and volunteered for the 2nd. If you want a personal account how miserable life was for Ivan, this is the one.

ANY book by Anna Politkovskaya about Chechnya. Her work was so good she was assassinated by the Russian government (Completely acting on their own, some FSB Agents just decided out of the blue to assassinate her in her apartment block's elevator, no really!). She rips into both sides of the conflict.

I just finished the Arkady Babachenko one. gently caress me, who'd be a conscript in that army, harrowing read even before he got to the actual fighting part.
