About This Item
1788 Life of Frederick II of Prussia Germany WARS Austria Politics 4v Laveaux
"The first object in the establishment of an army ought to be making provision for the belly, that being the basis and foundation of all operations
– Frederick the Great
Frederick II was the most famous King of Prussia, notable for his 46 years of reign. He served and ruled over Brandenburg-Prussia and was as significant force in the Wars of Polish and Austrian Succession. Frederick himself invited French historian Jean-Charles Laveaux to embark on a substantial work on the history of the Prussian monarchy (of course, Frederick II was the most important facet of that monarchy).
This time spent with Frederick II allowed Laveaux to publish three different works surrounding the life and reign of Frederick II. 'Life of Frederick II, King of Prussia' includes documents, speeches, anecdotes, and first-hand experiences covering the life and eventual death of 'Old Fritz'.
