Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an illuminating account of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786, whose many talents and progressive ideas transformed not just Prussia but the entire European political landscape. The author presents Frederick not only as a brilliant military strategist and a skilled diplomat, but also as a patron of the arts and sciences, a legal reformer, and a freethinker with an abiding interest in philosophy. Through a careful examination of Frederick's writings, speeches, and actions, the book traces the development of his political and social ideas, highlighting his commitment to the ideals of the Enlightenment. By presenting a nuanced portrait of Frederick, the author rescues him from the caricature of an 18th-century tyrant, revealing instead a complex and often misunderstood historical figure.
