Frederick the Great: A Military History - [AUDIOBOOK]
m4b | 738.02 MB | Author: Showalter, Dennis | Year: 2020
Description :
A biography of the Prussian king and military legend from " America's leading historian" (Jeremy Black, author of Imperial Legacies).
Famed for his military successes and domestic reforms, Frederick the Great was a remarkable leader whose campaigns were a watershed in the history of Europe, securing Prussia's place as a continental power and inaugurating a new pattern of total war that was to endure until 1916. However, much myth surrounds this enigmatic man, his personality, and his role as politician, warrior, and king.
From a renowned military historian and winner of a Pritzker Literature Award, this book provides a refreshing, multidimensional depiction of Frederick the Great and an objective, detailed reappraisal of his military, political, and social achievements. Early chapters set the scene with an excellent summary of eighteenth-century Europe and the Age of Reason; an analysis of the character, composition, and operating procedures of the Prussian army; and an exploration of Frederick's personality as a young man. Later chapters examine his stunning victories at Rossbach and Leuthen; his defeats at Prague and Kolín; and Prussia's emergence as a key European power.
Written with style and verve, this book offers brilliant insights into the political and military history of the eighteenth century-and one of history's most famous rulers.
