Amazing!!!

Dr. Baiev has done a wonderful job of presenting the agony of his people. This is a must read for everyone. I was born on the Iranian side of the Caspian Sea. Many of the customs related by Dr. Baiev are very familiar to me. I have no doubt that the tremendous will power of the Chechen people will enable them to survive the current crises as they have done in the past. I highly recommend this book to every person of conscious.

Kudos to Dr. Baiev.

Horrifying, enlightening and edifying.

I truly feel privileged to have read this book, to have met the author and hear him speak (at the Northwest Book Festival in October 2003). I know of no modern book that brings home the horrors that citizens face during war, while offering the inspiration of the human spirit to go on in the midst of it all, like "The Oath." Baiev's horrific, personal story is worth the read in itself. However, the perspective he brings to the conflict and its origins is incredibly vital to the world situation today.
