'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.
