À propos de cet audio

Bloomsbury presents The Reckoning by Prit Buttar, read by Richard Trinder.

'The Reckoning is vivid history, the tragic Eastern Front brought to life through the widest range of Russian and German sources I've ever read. Bravo.' – Peter Caddick-Adams, author and broadcaster

From critically acclaimed Eastern Front expert Prit Buttar, The Reckoning is a masterful re-evaluation of the fateful year of 1944, and how the Red Army irrevocably turned the tide of war until the final defeat within the heart of Germany itself was guaranteed.

The fighting throughout the Ukraine and Romania was brutal, with the German defence dogged and desperate. But for too long the Wehrmacht had relied on the superior combat prowess of its fighting men. What had not been taken into account, however, was that the Red Army would not only rely on its sheer size, but would fine-tune its fighting performance from its senior commanders right down to the individual soldier battling both fear and the elements to take each line, each trench, each inch of land.

Ultimately it is a story not of how the Germans lost, as is all too often told, but of how the Russians increasingly learned how to win.

Book was ruined for me by the delivery! why does the narrator insist on putting on the accents, where the Russian soldiers all Scottish?

For a British GP, Prit Buttar is perhaps one of the best storyteller-historian with a very easy listening narrative of a very complicated description of the collapsing German army in Ukraine as the Nazi's finally ran out of steam. It is a nice balance of recollections among front soldiers and Generals on both the German and Soviet sides. If you want a good understanding the most important portions of WWII, you need to understand the German-Soviet war that accounted for 75% of all casualties and material of the entire theatres of war. Prit Buttar has a flow to his words that makes the entire story engaging. His other books look inviting and will try to hear another.
