Reddit reviews A Small Corner of Hell: Dispatches from Chechnya

I'm reading this book for a class right now. Shows how damn brutal some of the Russian troops were in the first part of the book.

• Anna Politkovskaya's A Dirty War, A Small Corner of Hell, Putin's Russia: Life in a Failing Democracy, A Russian Diary (Politkovskaya was murdered in 2006 by one of Kaydrov's goons as a birthday present for Putin)

For something like Politkovskaya's books (also A Small Corner of Hell) you may try The Angel of Grozny and for something akin to Babchenko's (but from the other side), maybe The Sky Wept Fire.
