HISTORY OF THE LATE WAR IN GERMANY Between the King of Prussia and the Empress of Germany and Her Allies (Seven Years War)

The Seven Years War pitted Britain, allied with the emerging power of Prussia, against a coalition led by France, and including Austria, Sweden and Saxony. Best known in Britain for the wresting away of chunks of the French empire – including Canada – in Europe, the war was most notable for the battles fought, won and sometimes lost by King Frederick the Great of Prussia against Austria and Saxony. This book, written by a British Major-General who served in the Austrian army, covers the battles of Zornsdorf, Hochkirchen, Patzig, Cunnersdorf and Maxen – and is one of the best contemporary accounts of 18th century warfare and the tactics of Frederick. Contains many maps.
