Sample Book Insights:
#1 The mountains are as bad as it gets. Everything you need to live, you carry with you. You need food, so you discard all the things you can do without and stuff dry rations for five days into your backpack.
#2 After the luxurious flats of Grozny, the barn the Chechens were staying in seemed pitiful. It had clay walls, an earth floor, and a small window that barely lets in any light. But this was their first real accommodation after months of sleeping in rat holes and ditches.
