The Seven Years War in Europe

1756-1763

Beschreibung

Based on a re-reading of primary sources and fresh research in the Austrian State Archives, this work presents a scholarly reassessment of the continental war. It argues that Prussia did not win, but merely survived the Seven Years War and did so despite and not because of the actions and decisions of its king Frederick "the Great".
