The conflict in Chechnya was the first war journalist Asne Seierstad covered. Now 10 years later, she returns to Chechnya and discovers that though the world's attention has moved on, the tragedy has continued, killing 10 to 15 per cent of the population and leaving a brutalised society - with a particular toll on its children - in its wake.

" Booklist" (starred review)
"Powerful, painful, and raw, Seierstad's latest is essential reading."" "
"Kirkus"
"A sympathetic, brave work from a deeply engaged war correspondent."""
" Sunday Times" (U.K.)
"[Asne Seierstad] has produced the best book in English about one of the world's most brutal and under-reported conflicts."
"Scotsman" (U.K.)
"Extraordinary and deeply harrowing...a tenacious and compassionate reporter, [Asne Seierstad] finds her way into the homes of Chechens and tells their stories...[a] brave, disturbing book."
" Time Out London" (U.K.)
"Touching stories of loss, survival and bravery...an invaluable account of the stormy conflicts that have blighted the area for centuries."
"Evening Standard" (U.K.)
"Anyone wanting to understand the Russia of today should read this compelling, shocking book about the forgotten suffering of Chechnya... a powerful book of heartbreaking yet flamboyant reportage from a forgotten hell."
"Sunday Herald" (U.K.)
"If Kapuscinski was the modern master of literary reportage, then Asne Seierstad's "THE ANGEL OF GROZNY" proves her a worthy follower with this bleak but beautiful book."
"The Observer" (U.K.)
"As a crash course on recent Chechen and Russian history, Seierstad's account is invaluable: she presents all the confusing contradictions of the conflict in a straightforward, accessible way, which is no mean feat...she has a real eye for detail and the human heart of a story."
"Independent" (U.K.)
"[Asne Seierstad] tells their stories with poignancy and compassion. "THE ANGEL OF GROZNY" reads at times almost like a novel; the pity is that Seierstad isn't making it up."
