"My misfortune is that I still live... of an army of 48,000 men, now that I write this, I have no 3000." When Frederick the Great notes this on August 11, 1759, the terrible battle at Kunersdorf lies behind him. The horror of that single day emblematically stands for an 18th century world war whose events affected all of Europe between 1756 and 1763, but likewise affected the overseas empires of France, Britain and Spain, or the Indian tribes of North America.
