History of Frederick the Second, Called Frederick the Great.
John S. C. Abbott, a prolific American writer of popular history, tells the life of Frederick the Great of Prussia in this illustrated biography. He begins with the young prince's unhappy childhood under his harsh father, Frederick William I, his close bond with his sister Wilhelmina, his attempted flight and imprisonment, and his marriage. He then follows Frederick as king, through the invasion of Silesia, the campaigns of Mollwitz and Moravia, the Peace of Dresden, life at Sans Souci, his quarrel with Voltaire and the long struggle of the Seven Years' War. Abbott writes with energy and a strong moral voice, and his narrative is easy to follow. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
