First line
The war between Russia and the Chechen separatist forces, which lasted from December 1994 to August 1996, may be seen by future historians as a key moment in Russian and perhaps world history - not so much because of its consequences, as because of the stark light which this war has thrown on one of the most important developments of our time: the end of Russia as a great military and imperial power.
From the rear cover
The humiliation of Russia by separatist rebels in the Chechen War marked a key moment in Russian - and perhaps world - history. In this new analysis Anatol Lieven offers a riveting account of the war as a means to explore the painful fate of the post-Soviet state.
