Two years ago, when she was thirty years old, Anne Nivat decided to see first-hand what war was all about. Russia had just launched its second brutal campaign against Chechnya. And though the Russians strictly forbade Westerners from covering the war, the aspiring French journalist decided she would go. There are two very real dangers in Chechnya: being arrested by the Russians and being kidnapped by the Chechens. Nivat strapped her satellite phone to her belly, disguised herself in the garb of a Chechen peasant, and sneaked across the border. She found a young guide, Islam, to lead her illegally through the war zone. For six months they followed the war, travelling with underground rebels and sleeping with Chechen families or in abandoned buildings. Anne trembled through air raids; walked through abandoned killing fields; and helped in the halls of bloody hospitals. She interviewed rebel leaders, government officials, young widows, and angry fighters, and she reported everything back to France. Her reports in Lib'ration led to antiwar demonstrations outside the Russian embassy in Paris. Anne's words move. They are not florid, but terse, cool, dramatic. More than just a war correspondent's report, Chienne de Guerre is a moving story of struggle and self-discovery -- the adventures of one young woman who repeatedly tests her own physical and psychological limits in the extremely dangerous and stressful environment of war.

"The Wake of War is an example of the power - and the powerful importance - of going behind the headlines, behind the barrage of argument, to glimpse what is happening in the lives of ordinary people."--BOOK JACKET.

Pssst, vous croiserez également certains de vos personnages préférés rencontrés pour la première fois dans SEALs of Honor et Heroes for Hire ! Combiner un voyage auprès de ses grands-parents avec la traque d’une chienne du K9 est apparemment une bonne excuse pour Greyson. Sans que l’on sache ce qui s’est passé, la chienne a été envoyée par erreur à l’autre bout du monde, dans la mauvaise direction, puis perdue. La retrouver n’est pas facile, mais Greyson suit une piste dangereuse, tout comme la chienne avant lui… pour tomber sur la femelle berger protégeant alors une mère et son enfant… Absolument pas ce à quoi il s’attendait. Jessica ne comprend pas pourquoi la chienne est toujours là, mais elle est terrifiante. Pas autant que ce qui se passe dans le reste de sa vie, cela dit. Elle en attribue la plupart à son ex-mari, mais est-il réellement aussi terrible ? Avec son fils en bas âge à protéger, elle sait qu’elle ne peut pas commettre la moindre erreur, pour ne pas s’attirer d’ennuis. À mesure que les événements s’intensifient, il ne lui faut pas longtemps pour décider qui est de son côté et… qui ne l’est pas.
