From a renowned military historian and winner of a Pritzker Literature Award, this
book provides a refreshing, multidimensional depiction of Frederick the Great and
an objective, detailed reappraisal of his military, political, and social achievements.
Early chapters set the scene with an excellent summary of eighteenth-century Europe
and the Age of Reason; an analysis of the character, composition, and operating procedures
of the Prussian army; and an exploration of Frederick's personality as a young man.
Later chapters examine his stunning victories at Rossbach and Leuthen; his defeats
at Prague and Kolín; and Prussia's emergence as a key European power
