Free Fall - A Snipers story

Really interesting and raw book. An account of a young Russian boy conscripted into the Saboteurs unit as a sniper in the late 90s. Sent to combat in the 2nd Chechen war. Very grizzly book with some good examples of booby trapping and mine tactics. Couldn't put it down. Originally in Russian, then translated to Italian, and now (luckily) English. Just not sure why there is a picture of a British soldier on the front cover.
