Surviving a kidnapping in Chechnya

Pendry, Richard (2009) Surviving a kidnapping in Chechnya. Review of: The sky is always there: surviving a kidnapping in Chechnya by Carr, Camilla and James, Jonathan. Frontline Club, . (KAR id:87641)

Abstract

In 1997, Camilla Carr and Jonathan James were kidnapped and held for fourteen months in Chechnya. Speaking neither Russian nor Chechen, armed with good intentions and a car full of toys, the two Britons had volunteered to help traumatised children in Grozny. They were soon kidnapped, and this book – The Sky is Always There: Surviving a Kidnapping in Chechnya – is a ghastly tale of casual violence and the kidnappers’ contempt for their hostages.
