Before I went on holiday I got my hands on an advance copy of @philmcraig 1945 The Reckoning.
I hadn’t read Phil’s other books. So, I had no idea what to expect.
What I found is a master story teller at his prime and a book I couldn’t put down…
1945 The Reckoning is an epic story that ranges across the globe from Berlin to Vietnam, which he expertly tells through the experiences of those caught up in the conflict – and on both sides of it.
He skilfully avoids nostalgia, tells uncomfortable truths, and yet ends up with a balanced account of what the end of the war meant for the coloniser and colonised.
I highly recommend it
