Yes, liked that too although not quite as much as I liked the others. On war I preferred her one about female soldiers in the Red Army, called the Unwomanly Face of War. About girls running away from their families to get to the front to fight any way they could... Like the rest of her books it's a compilation of interviews. For anyone interested in Russia all these books are amazing. I started with Secondhand Time and then was hooked.Have you read Boys in Zinc?
From 1979 to 1989 Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed thousands of casualties on both sides. While the Soviet Union talked about a 'peace-keeping' mission, the dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins. Boys in Zinc presents the honest testimonies of soldiers, doctors and nurses, mothers, wives and siblings who describe the lasting effects of war. Weaving together their stories, Svetlana Alexievich shows us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan conflict: the killing and the beauty of small everyday moments, the shame of returned veterans, the worries of all those left behind. When it was first published in the USSR in 1991, Boys in Zinc sparked huge controversy for its unflinching, harrowing insight into the realities of war.

Bloody hell, at least they take it seriously. Good way to get rid of the Mrs though.Yes and we had proper guides, just they let people off the mini bus at certain points, they (I am hoping knew) it was safe but we had no real idea .
Funny part is getting in and out putting your hands on some radiation meter, if you fail you have to stay for 24 hours.
