Product Description
Product Description
The collapse of Russian communism in 1991 resounded to the shudder of an empire. Soviet imperialism and empiricism was dead and lands, nations, and peoples would henceforth be free from the tyranny of the communist diktat. But it also sounded the death knell of a small, impoverished, and forgotten land-locked state in the Caucasus which had the misfortune to be of geopolitical importance. Stanley Greene's photographs in Open Wound are so powerful as to make Chechnya our responsibility. He is unashamed to use guilt, with his painter's eye, to relate the deeds of men in Chechnya to our own conduct.

"Most Disturbing Work in English",
By "catfitzny" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OPEN WOUND: Chechnya 1994-2003 (Hardcover)
Photojournalist Stanley Green's "Open Wound: Chechnya 1994-2003" has recently appeared, arguably the most disturbing work ever to be published in English about the two Chechen wars, with haunting text to accompany pictures that should become as indelible in the mind as the photos of Hiroshima or Vietnam. From "Escaping the Chechen Quagmire" www.rferl.org/reports/ucs 16 December 2003

Beautiful and Amazing pictures,
By A Customer
This review is from: OPEN WOUND: Chechnya 1994-2003 (Hardcover)
This book is a must for everyone who is interested in the War against Chechnya. Pictures in this book, though not graphic, are very powerful. What the Russians are trying to hide, Stanley Greene exposes it and with class. It is going to be a classic.

Better Photos on Chechen Websights,
By Not Known (not known) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OPEN WOUND: Chechnya 1994-2003 (Hardcover)
If you want to see what really is going down in Chechenya, don't bother with this liberal bias. Go straight to Chechen websights like "kavkaz" you'll see the great photos and videos of wahhabi jihadists sawing off heads and blowing up people! Then read the great descriptions like when it's ok to kill civilians. And how many brainwashed females trained as suicide-bombers. And other nice praise for Bin Laden, Taliban, and terrorist jihadis slaughtering American "occupiers" in Iraq and Afganistan. Go straight to the horses mouth and you'll get the real deal not sympathetic propaganda for terrorists. Which not all chechens are, some are just trying to survive. But they won't get any sympathy from America until they kick the Arabs and Wahhabis out themselves.
