Frederick the Great (1712-1786), King of Prussia, initiated the
Seven Years' War in 1756, outfought the formidable French, Russian,
and Austrian armies aligned against him, and established Prussia as
a major power, thereby decisively influencing the next two
centuries of European history. He was also a brilliant military
thinker whose observations arose from extensive battlefield
experience.
This volume presents a balanced selection from Frederick's
writings on strategy, tactics, and mobility; the problems of
logistics and a two-front war; the combined use of infantry,
cavalry, and artillery; the history of the Prussian army; the
critical battles of the Seven Years' War; generalship as an art;
and much more. A majority of this material is translated here for
the first time in English and available nowhere else. The result is
an invaluable glimpse into the inner thoughts of a military
genius.
