Career


Buttar studied medicine at Oxford University and London University.[3][4] Buttar served in the British Army as a surgeon[4] and medical officer for five years. He later worked in Bristol as a general practitioner (GP). He worked as a GP in Abingdon-on-Thames from 2000 to 2017 and served on the GP's Committee of the British Medical Association. He is Chairman of the Oxfordshire Local Medical Committee.[3][5]


Buttar's first book, Battleground Prussia, was inspired by one of his patients. The 83-year-old patient recalled stories about her life as a nurse in East Prussia and escape from the Soviet army[5] near the end of World War II. Buttar spent 8 years writing the book.[6] His second book, Between Giants, is a study of the Battle for the Baltics in WWII, and explores the experiences of people from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.[5]


His third book, Collision of Empires, is a study of World War I on the Eastern Front. It is the first of a four volume series.[7] Before writing the book, Buttar spent a year studying archives in Berlin, Vienna, and Freiberg. With the help of another historian, the multi-lingual Buttar was able to translate the German archives.[8] The second book of the series, Germany Ascendant: The Eastern Front 1915, was released in 2015.[9]



Personal life


Buttar is married to Debbie, an army nurse. They have two children. Their daughter studied History at Cambridge University.[5][8]
