A swashbuckling Texan, a teller of tall tales, a womanizer,
and a renegade, Fred Cuny spent his life in countries rent by war,
famine, and natural disasters, saving many thousands of lives
through his innovative and sometimes controversial methods of
relief work. Cuny earned his nickname “Master of Disaster” for his
exploits in Kurdistan, Somalia, and Bosnia. But when he arrived in
the rogue Russian republic of Chechnya in the spring of 1995,
raring to go and eager to put his ample funds from George Soros to
good use, he found himself in the midst of an unimaginably savage
war of independence, unlike any he had ever before encountered.
Shortly thereafter, he disappeared in the war-rocked highlands,
never to be seen again.
Who was Cuny really working for? Was he a CIA spy? Who killed
him, and why? In search of the answers, Scott Anderson traveled to
Chechnya on a hazardous journey that started as as a magazine
assignment and ended as a personal mission. The result is a
galvanizing adventure story, a chilling picture of “the new world
order,” and a tour de force of literary journalism.
