Abstract
A self-styled “Post-Sovietologist,” Goltz has been writing
and speaking about the former Soviet Union since its
collapse in 1991. His articles have appeared in publications
as diverse as the Washington Post, New York Times,
Business Week, The Nation, and Soldier of Fortune. He has
also produced short films that have aired on the BBC, PBS
and Turkish and Russian NTV stations, while his book on
Azerbaijan (M.E. Sharpe, 1998) is regarded as obligatory
reading for students of the region. His most recent
publication, Chechnya Diary (St. Martin's Press, 2003) will
be a central part of his presentation.
Of the book, the author John le Carre (David Cornwell) has
written: "Russia's murderous and unrelenting persecution
of the Chechens, now shamefully condoned by the United
States and Britain as part of the war on terror, is here
vividly portrayed in all its surreal horror. We must forgive
Goltz his egotism and thank him with all guns for his
message."
