- Is this a good first book on Operation Bagration?
- It works as a detailed account, but it assumes familiarity with the Eastern Front. Readers new to the subject may prefer a broader survey first.
- How does it compare with Glantz's Bagration study?
- Buttar writes a more narrative campaign history for general readers. Glantz's work is more of a staff-level operational study with heavier orders-of-battle detail.
- Does it cover the German side as well as the Soviet side?
- Yes. Buttar draws on German and Soviet sources and covers both the Soviet planning and the German collapse of Army Group Centre.
- Is it illustrated with maps and photos?
- It includes a map section and a photo plate section, though readers often say the maps are too few for the scale of the campaign.
- What edition is this?
- A 480-page hardcover from Osprey Publishing, in English, aimed at adult readers.
