Title: a very biased book with colored opinions
Review: I will have to agree with leonidas_of_sparta, I bought the book even after reading his comments and I was severly disappointed. I think leonidas_of_sparta covered the book's flaws pretty well and i will give only one example of the inherent unbalance in this book. Sebastian Smith faults the western countries for the failure of chechnya because they did not invest during the post war peroid but he then goes on stating that the four foreign engineers (who were beheaded by chechen kidnappers)should never went to chechnya, even though they were during what smith was lamenting - post war reconstruction funded by western powers. This book is so un-balanced that it contradict itself on the same page.
