On 5 November 1757, in the vicinity of the small Saxon village of
Rossbach, Frederick the Great and his army achieved a spectacular
victory over an enemy composed of French and Imperial troops.
22,000 Prussian soldiers drove an army twice their size from the
field of battle. Neither before or after would the Prussian king
achieve such a decisive victory at so little cost to his own
forces. Following the battle the French did not actively
participate in any further campaigns against Prussia, whilst the
Reichsarmee's reputation was permanently damaged. In contrast
Frederick's generalship assumed a new lustre after the difficulties
he had experienced during the summer campaign in Bohemia. The
present volume brings together essays by well-known authors who
examine the battle from differing perspectives. These include
analyses of the three armies involved, and discussion of the course
of the battle, its effects on the surrounding civilian population,
and forms of remembrance. The volume is illustrated with a number
of attractive images and maps.
