Title: Hells Corner
Product review: When life is war and war is life, what else do people know? Anna Politkovskaya takes the reader for a non faint of heart journey through the streets of Chechnya- a war torn republic in the North Cuscus. Maybe it was the writing style, but everything just seemed to blend together into a gray portrait of death and survival without dignity. There are no winners Chechen or Russian within the context of Politkovskaya's book. Not even officers of the Russian army as profiled in one of the last stories she tells. War spares no victims and often regenerates itself in the form of a youth who've known nothing but war, replenishing the cycle of war. It's unfortunate that Politkovskaya could not have broken up her stories a little more because though she does a good job of profiling the people of war, much of it is lost in this swirling vortex of near-ending graying death and war.
