Book Review, NationalJournal.com

In the fall of 2000, Israeli journalist Yo'av Karny published "Highlanders: A Journey To The Caucasus In Quest Of Memory" -- a rich and detailed account of his travels and research in the mountainous region that stands between southeastern Russia and the Middle East. And while the book's focus is much broader than Chechnya, that northern Caucasus republic's uprising against Russia made "Highlanders" an unexpectedly timely resource for those trying to understand that conflict and the confusing corner of the world in which it was taking place.
