reviewed Oath: A Surgeon Under Fire on May 13, 2013 Oath: A Surgeon Under Fire
The Oath was mentioned at the end of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena. It was just by chance that the library owned a copy. It has only been out 4 times since its purchase in 2003. That should give you a good idea of just how little interest there has been in Chechnya.
This is an important book. While it teaches a bit about Chechen history and traditions, it is best when it describes how one person can really make a difference (often at great cost to himself). If we all were a bit like Khassan Baiev, the world would be a much better place. He is one person we can strive to emulate.
After reading this, I pondered the popularity of the apocalyptic genre in our popular culture. Perhaps we all would be better served reading books like this. The world is apocalyptic enough -- we certainly don't have to make it up.
