On this episode of the Authors of History Podcast I talk to author and historian Prit Buttar.
Prit Buttar studied medicine at Oxford and London before joining the British Army as a doctor. After leaving the army, he worked as a GP, first near Bristol and then in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
An established expert on the Eastern Front in 20th-century military history, He has written 15 non fiction books and 2 fiction books. His books include the critically acclaimed Battleground Prussia: The Assault on Germany's Eastern Front 1944–45 (Osprey 2010) and Between Giants: The Battle for the Baltics in World War II (Osprey 2013) and a definitive four-part series on the Eastern Front in World War I which concluded with The Splintered Empires: The Eastern Front 1917–21 (2017).
He talks about his journey into history from his school days, how he researches and writes about the Eastern Front in 20th-Century conflicts and writing in collaboration with his daughter. He recommends a author or history book that we should all read and and Independant Book shop we should support.
