Based on hitherto unused manuscript material, War, Politics and
Diplomacy examines the origin, development and collapse of the
Anglo-Prussian alliance against the complex backdrop of European
politics during the Seven Years War (1756-63). Unlike earlier books
in the field, this study views the alliance not as a static entity
but as a flexible, dynamic instrument of statecraft ever responsive
to military and diplomatic shifts. By examining, for the first
time, the disintegration of the alliance in a light of preceding
intra-alliance relations, Karl W. Schweizer demonstrates that its
failure was certain from the conditions of its formation, the
progress of the war, and above all, from the disparate aims and
interests of the two partners, England and Prussia. This new
approach to the history of the alliance produces a fundamentally
different interpretation of its overall development, a disbelief in
its prospect of survival after the war and hence a modified
evaluation of the role played by the principal statesmen involved.
