Bloomsbury presents Bagration 1944: The Great Soviet Offensive by Prit Buttar, read by Leighton Pugh.

A fascinating history of the great summer offensive launched by the Red Army in 1944 which turned the tide of the war.

Throughout the war on the Eastern Front, there were two consistent trends. The Red Army battled to learn how to fight and win, while involved in a struggle for its very survival. But by 1944 it had a leadership that was able to wield it with lethal effect and with far more effective equipment than before. By contrast, the Wehrmacht had commenced a slow process of decline after the invasion of the Soviet Union. Hitler became increasingly unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, which had been crucial to earlier success. The long years of fighting had also taken a heavy toll. Thousands of irreplaceable junior officers and NCOs were dead, wounded or prisoners.

Renowned Eastern Front expert Prit Buttar expertly brings these contrasting fortunes to life, trends which culminated in the huge battles of Bagration. As this masterful study conclusively shows, in 1944 the Red Army finally put together a campaign that utterly destroyed the German Army Group Centre. The Wehrmacht suffered the loss of over 300,000 men killed, wounded or taken prisoner and the Red Army rolled forward across Belarus to the outskirts of Warsaw. The end of the war was still many months away, and the Germans managed to reconstruct their line on the Eastern Front, but final victory for the Soviet Union was now only a matter of time as a direct consequence of Bagration.©2025 Prit Buttar (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensioni della critica

A dynamic and engrossing read – Buttar captures the drama and detail of one of the most important campaigns of the Second World War.
Buttar’s meticulously researched account will be of particular interests to enthusiasts of second world war history, as well as those wanting to gain a greater insight into the battles, conditions, and tactics on the Eastern Front.
Bagration 1944 is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the broader complexities of the Eastern Front, the finer details of Nazi Germany’s most crushing defeat in World War Two, and the monumental scale of Soviet military capabilities by the latter stage of the conflict.
[Buttar] has produced an authoritative account of one of history’s greatest military catastrophes, which reveals that the Second World War’s outcome was decided not merely in Normandy, but also on the Eastern Front.
