The Great Elector - Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia (Paperback)

Establishes Frederick William as an important figure in his own right, rather than as a precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great.

As latest book in the popularly priced, best selling, Profiles in Power series, this long-awaited biography, the first in English for 50 years, avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great. Instead, it roots him firmly in his own time; a dynastic, protestant ruler like many another in Germany, but gifted with the toughness and opportunism to overcome the hostility of his local nobilities and of the surrounding great powers.
