History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 08 by Thomas Carlyle
"History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 08" by Thomas Carlyle is part of a six-volume biography published between 1858 and 1865. This monumental work chronicles the life of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, born from Carlyle's three-decade fascination with his subject. The Scottish historian devoted thirteen laborious years to research and writing, touring German battlefields and consulting countless sources. His efforts produced what contemporaries called a supreme work of
literary genius—vivid, witty, and so thoroughly researched that military students learned Frederick's battles from its pages. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
