As others have mentioned, de Waal's book has two major flaws: moral relativism, and unfair comparisons. The positive things about the book are that it has interesting interviews with key people who were involved with the conflict, and it's chronology of events from 1988 till Key West meetings in 2001. I would have given the book a better rating had the author's concluding chapter not been so hunky dory, nor so gloomy of the decision by Armenians and Azerbaijanis to not accept the terms from the Key West meetings. On the one had he chastised President Kocharyan and Dictator Aliyev for not telling their people about the deal, i.e. no transparency, but then he criticizes the people for refusing to accept the Minsk Group's suggestions. In sum, have this book for a reference, but don't take this as the definitive book on the Karabakh War.
