Passionate... Devastating... Powerful
Guardian
Politkovskaya is a Solzhenitsyn for the 21st century... Very few were telling a similar truth in her lifetime and even fewer will tell it now that she is dead
Observer
Politkovskaya gives an account of life as it is lived under Putin, fearlessly detailing the chaos and corruption she saw around her
Independent on Sunday
Brilliant... she reminds us what journalism can be
Herald
This is her testimony... it makes for impressive and immediate reading
Independent
Completely honest and fearless
Literary Review
Suppression of freedom of speech, of expression, reaches its savage ultimate in the murder of a writer. Anna Politkovskaya refused to lie, in her work; her murder is a ghastly act, and an attack on world literature
- Nadine Gordimer,
Like all great investigative reporters, Anna Politkovskaya brought forward human truths that rewrote the official story. We will continue to read her, and learn from her, for years
- Salman Rushdie,
Beyond mourning her, it would be more seemly to remember her by taking note of what she wrote
- James Meek,
It is a blow to the entire democratic, independent press. It is a grave crime against the country, against all of us
- Mikhail Gorbachev,
