Sabina Berkeley and H M Scott
Since its publication in 1983, Theodor Schieder s study has been recognised as the most distinguished modern study of Prussia's mostfamous King and a leading figure of the eighteenth century.
This abbreviated translation provides the first comprehensive scholarly treatment in English published since 1975.
Less a chronological biography than a series of incisive essays on aspects of Frederick s life and reign, it throws new and penetrating light on many aspects of Frederick's Prussia: it's wars, foreign policy and social and administrative structures. Schieder's interpretation is built up piece by piece and turns on his view of the impact of ideas upon a towering historical personality. This will become the most widely used study of a crucial reign.

He was editor of the journal, the Historische Zeitschrift from 1957 onwards; Chairman of the German Historical Association (1967 - 72) and taught principally at the Universities of Cologne and Munich.
This English version has been translated and edited by Sabina Berkeley and H M Scott.
