Long hailed as "a lone voice crying out in a moral wilderness" ... [she] made her name with her fearless treporting on the war in Chechnya. More recently, she turned to Vladimir Putin himself, focusing on the multiple threats his regime poses to Russian stability and on the state of terror that in the end cost Politkovskaya her life."--Back cover ER -
