Summary

In 1851 Leo Tolstoy enlisted in the Russian army and was sent to the Caucasus to help defeat the Chechens. During this war a great Avar chieftain, Hadji Murád, broke with the Chechen leader Shamil and fled to the Russians for safety. Months later, while attempting to rescue his family from Shamil’s prison, Hadji Murád was pursued by those he had betrayed and, after fighting the most heroic battle of his life, was killed.

Tolstoy, witness to many of the events leading to Hadji Murád’s death, set down this story with painstaking accuracy to preserve for future generations the horror, nobility, and destruction inherent in war.

where did the chapters go?

Well performed by Jonathan Keeble. The chapters disappear after 17, and the final multiple chapters of the book are conjoined into a 1.5h long block. A minor but irritating gripe which makes it hard to read a chapter at a time or find your place again. Can this be fixed?
