About this book
Prussia's rise from a modest German state to a major European power is tied here to the life of Frederick the Great, covering the years 1712 to 1786. W. F. Reddaway, a fellow of King's College, Cambridge, wrote it for the Heroes of the Nations series.
His preface names the sources behind it, from Frederick's own writings and the Prussian state correspondence to Carlyle and Koser, and says he visited several battlefields in Saxony, Brandenburg, Bohemia and Silesia. The account includes the early history of Brandenburg, the young prince's years, and the wars of Frederick's reign, the Seven Years' War among them.
