The Angel Of Grozny: Life Inside Chechnya by Åsne Seierstad
3.0
It's good to read books like the Angel of Groznyi every once in a while, it prevents you from hiding your head in the sand and pretending like nothing is wrong with the world. The downside is, of course, that you will fell more than a bit frustrated at not being able to do anything about it, but at least you won't be taking things for granted for a while.
This one was one of those heart-breaking but compelling read you just cannot give up on. I do not know enough about the area in question to make a call on how biased, if at all, this book was, but no matter what it made at least me feel like railing at the injustice of it all and be thankful of my own good fortune of living in a country where such things do not happen.
