In 2013, the United States suffered its worst terrorist bombing
since 9/11 at the annual running of the Boston Marathon. When the
culprits turned out to be U.S. residents of Chechen descent,
Americans were shocked and confused. Why would members of an
obscure Russian minority group consider America their enemy?
Inferno in Chechnya is the first book to answer this riddle by
tracing the roots of the Boston attack to the Caucasus Mountains of
southern Russia. Brian Glyn Williams describes the tragic history
of the bombers' war-devastated homeland - including tsarist
conquest and two bloody wars with post-Soviet Russia that would
lead to the rise of Vladimir Putin - showing how the conflict there
influenced the rise of Europe's deadliest homegrown terrorist
network. He provides a historical account of the Chechens' terror
campaign in Russia, documents their growing links to Al Qaeda and
radical Islam, and describes the plight of the Chechen diaspora
that ultimately sent two Chechens to Boston. Inferno in Chechnya
delivers a fascinating and deeply tragic story that has much to say
about the historical and ethnic roots of modern terrorism.
