Branch held a discussion at the US Embassy on October 1 to mark the
release of the Armenian translation of British journalist Thomas

The widely-read book was first published in English in 2004. A Russian
translation of the book came out in November 2006 and discussions
were held in Yerevan, Tbilisi and Baku.

Institute for War and Peace Reporting. He is also known as co-author
of A Small Victorious War, a book on the conflict in Chechnya. De Waal
completed a degree in Russian and Modern Greek at Oxford, has worked
