About this book
Frederick the Great and the Seven Years' War is by Ferdinand Schrader, translated from the German by George P. Upton. The translator's preface says the volume deals only with seven years in the life of Frederick the Great, the period of the Seven Years' War, which confirmed to Frederick the possession of Silesia and elevated Prussia to the first rank among European states. The preface says Frederick waged war three times, the first time in 1740-42 with Saxony, Bavaria, and France for allies against Austria and Great Britain.
The text says the two armies met at Lobositz on the Elbe, October 1, 1756. The text says the brave Duke of Bevern saved the army from its first defeat. In the text, Frederick replies firmly, "Do your duty and execute the orders of your King." The text says it took years before the sorely oppressed country recovered entirely from the devastating effects of war.
