Description
Book SynopsisThe book unravels the story of the insurgencies in Kosovo and Chechnya, shedding new light on the social networks and narratives, the rifts, tensions and movements involved in the road to war in 1999.
Trade ReviewAlthough many attempts to write about war in Kosovo and Chechnya at the end of the twentieth century have been made, this book is a unique study due to its originality, insightfulness and comprehensibility. Moore's contribution stands out for his brain-storming interpretive mosaic composed of a plurality of representations, and identifies differing experiences and strategies of war and violence. -- .
