عن الكتاب

This short novel, published posthumously, is the writer's fictionalized account of his service in the Russian army in Chechnya in the 1850s and of a Chechen soldier, Hadji Murad, who defects to the enemy with tragic results. Brutal and uncompromising, this remains a work of startling insight into an ethnic war that continues to this day.
