Book Review: Terror at Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America's Schools- John Giduck
Sobering read about the Chechen inspired massacre at a Russian school in 2004 where 338 were murdered, including 186 children.
The book starts with the history and mindset of the Chechen Islamist's and the bombings and hostage taking incidents that were precursors to the school siege.
It talks of the special forces units and the uncoordinated response that probably didn't help in a no-win crisis.
Following is a forensic analysis and lessons learned and hopefully a better response if that were to happen here.
Frankly, it's pretty scary.
It's a good read.
