David McDuff of A Step At A Time compares two recent – and very different – English-language accounts of the 2004 Beslan tragedy: The School, an article by C.J. Chivers, published in the June 2006 issue of Esquire (bootleg version‘s at PravdaBeslana.ru site), and the book by a Hoover Institution's scholar John B. Dunlop, The 2002 Dubrovka and 2004 Hostage Crises.

Thanks for the link. The full (but not very snappy) title of John Dunlop’s book is actually
The 2002 Dubrovka and 2004 Beslan Hostage Crises
(it’s subtitled A Critique of Russian Counter-Terrorism)
I’ve corrected this now.
