Anna Politkovskaya was a Russian Journalist who focused her career on human rights issues.  While Ms. Politkovskaya held dual citizenship in both Russia and the U.S. she remained in Russia focusing on exposing human rights violations and the suppression of freedom of the Putin regime.  This heroic woman could have left Russia whenever she pleased but remained to pursue her cause and eventually paid for it with her life.

Her memoirs are now available to the english speaking public and should be required reading for all who care about the suppression of freedom and human rights.
