Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the turbulent life of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. As an ambitious young King, Frederick waged several wars to expand his territory, emerging from the Second Silesian War as a powerful force in Europe. Despite portraying himself as an enlightened ruler, Frederick held absolute power and enforced rigid discipline, believing his people to be incapable of governing themselves. The author delves into Frederick's complex personality, highlighting his contradictions: the philosopher-king who held contempt for his subjects and the military genius who feared the enemy less than his own generals. Through Frederick's life and reign, this book offers a fascinating examination of Prussian history, exploring the themes of absolutism, militarism, and the complex nature of power.
