Reviews
"Wojciech Jagielski has already achieved recognition for his reporting from the most inflamed points on our globe. [ Towers of Stone ] will only confirm his reputation." -Ryszard Kapuscinski "Wojciech Jagielski's book sets new standards for gritty reporting of Russia's most miserable corner, and the dreadful damage done to it by both outsiders and the Chechens' own leaders ... The book brings to life the danger, squalor and misery of daily life in Chechnya with almost unbearable clarity." -Edward Lucas, The Economist

Synopsis
Award-winning Polish reporter Jagielski brings into focus the tragedy of Chechnya and the war being waged there by small groups of desperate warriors against the powerful Russian army. Jagielski's narrative revolves around two Chechnyan leaders - Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov. Caught up in a war to which they owe everything and without which they could not live, the two fighters face enemy forces in various conflicts. A bitter history of the region told with forceful clarity., In Towers of Stone, award-winning Polish reporter Wojciech Jagielski brings into focus the tragedy of Chechnya, its inhabitants, and the war being waged there by a handful of desperate warriors against a powerful and much more numerous army. Jagielski's narrative is told through the lens of two men: Shamil Basaev, a hero to some, a dangerous warlord to others; and Aslan Maskhadov, a calculating and sober politician, who is viewed as a providential savior by some of his compatriots and a cowardly opportunist by the rest. Caught up in a war to which they owe everything and without which they could not live, the two fighters face enemy forces--and one another--in protean conflicts that prove hard to quell. Viewing the two men's personal story as a microcosm of the conflict threatening to devour a land and its peoples, Jagielski distills the bitter history of the region with forceful clarity.
