1-205600 PRAGUE: The Empty Triumph -- Wargame PRAGUE - The Empty Triumph is volume VII of The Battles From The Age of Reason and continues the course of the Seven Years War in Europe.

On May 6, 1757 King Frederick II of Prussia sent 65,000 men on a maneuver to turn the right flank of 62,000 Austrians strongly deployed along a ridge east of the city Prague under the command of Prince Charles of Lorraine. Both sides were poised for for a battle which would be the largest of the war.

Although the battle clearly was a Prussian success the victory fell short because Prague successfully withstood the enemy siege until June 16 when Marshal Daun's Austrian relief force dealt Frederick his first defeat on the rolling hills near Kolin.

PRAGUE allows players to explore all aspects of the battle with multiple scenarios.

As a bonus, this game includes the Lobositz Expansion map.

1-71610 Anderson, Fred PEOPLE'S ARMY, A: Massachusetts Soldiers and Society in the Seven Years' War A People's Army documents the many distinctions between British regulars and Massachusetts provincial troops during the Seven Years' War. Originally published by UNC Press in 1984, the book was the first investigation of colonial military life to give equal attention to official records and to the diaries and other writings of the common soldier. The provincials' own accounts of their experiences in the campaign amplify statistical profiles that define the men, both as civilians and as soldiers. These writings reveal in intimate detail their misadventures, the drudgery of soldiering, the imminence of death, and the providential world view that helped reconcile them to their condition and to the war.

The author examines the military relationship between the British professional army & the militia type soldiers of the Bay Colony. Lots of first hand accounts, appendices, returns, biblio, and index. 1 vol, 292 pgs 1996 US, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS

1-16110 Annotated and edited by Vincent W. Rospond FREDERICK THE GREAT'S INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS GENERALS At various times in his military career Frederick the Great seemed on the cusp of a major defeat, yet always to find ways to extricate himself a secure a victory for himself and his lands. Frederick has long been considered in the pantheon of military leaders for his strategic and tactical prowess. His instructions to his generals have long been considered a starting point to understand the military mind of this leader. We present an annotated and illustrated version of Frederick the Great's 1754 Instructions to his infantry and cavalry. Included in this volume are maps that provide a background to his battles, a biography of Frederick and some of his generals, and an explanation of 18th century warfare as well as illustrations of his troops. 1 vol, 112 pgs 2012 US, WINGED HUSSAR PUBLISHING

1-236930 Badone, Giovanni YOU HAVE TO DIE IN PIEDMONT: The Battle of Assietta, 19 July 1747. The War of the Austrian Succession in the Alps 'You have to die in Piedmont!' is an old folk song, still played in the western Alps, that tells of the French regiments that were coming from the Mongeneve Pass in order to attack a combined Austro-Sardinian force entrenched on the Assietta Plateau, 2,500 meters up in the Cottian Alps. This crucial position controlled two main roads from France to the Kingdom of Sardinia's capital, Turin. The battle occurred on 19 June 1747, and was the bloodiest single day action not only of the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) in Italy, but in the whole military history of the Alps. Includes 26 b/w illustrations, 18 b/w photos, 19 maps, 3 diagrams, and 14 tables.

The strategic goal of the French offensive was the siege and the capture of the Fort of Exilles, in the Susa Valley on the road from Brian?on to Turin. An army of about 20,000 soldiers under the command of the Chevalier de Belle-Isle was divided into two corps: one went down the Moncenisio towards Exilles, while the other advanced towards the Val Chisone to attack the Assietta ridge from the south. Having predicted that the French would move through the area, Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy had fortified the area with an entrenched camp garrisoned with 7,000 men. French intelligence discovered that the allied forces were fortifying the pass, while the main Austrian army had left the siege of Genoa to reach the Alps.

So, the decision was taken to attack immediately. The forces involved amounted to 32 French battalions against nine Sardinian and four Austrian battalions. Despite the desperate effort of the soldiers and the personal valor of the French officers, all the attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. In a matter of three hours of murderous combat, some 5,000 soldiers, out of 27,000 men engaged, became casualties: even the French commander, Belle-Isle, was killed in the struggle. From that day, the Battle of Assietta became a sort of military legend for the Sardinian forces, and subsequently for the Italian Army, but no serious attempt to reconstruct the event was ever made.

Only at the end of the 19th century did the French try to develop a more detailed study of the struggle by publishing the manuscript written by Lt-Gen de Vault in the second half of 18th century. This is therefore the first full work to address the history of this battle, based firmly on extensive archival and printed sources, and fully supported by maps and illustrations as well as a comprehensive index. 1 vol, 344 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-224010 Barrento, Antonio Guerra Fantastica - The Portuguese Army in the Seven Years War This book deals with a series of military operations that occurred in Portugal in 1762 and 1763, during the Seven Years' War, and which have been largely dismissed by the historiography. They are collectively called the Guerra Fantastica, 'Fantastical War', given the fact that the military units of the countries involved carried out multiple movements while not engaging in any battle.

This work begins with an introduction to the phenomenon of war as a whole, to the environment in Europe at the time, and to the military framework of the conflict. It then describes the events that led to the participation of Portugal in the Seven Years' War and the way in which the conflict in Portugal began.

It continues with a presentation of the various forces involved. For this purpose, it analyses in detail the weakness of the Portuguese army, the military reinforcements that were obtained from England, and the arrival in Portugal of the Count of Lippe, whom the King of England had recommended to the King of Portugal to be the commander of the forces, given his recognized ability for the task.

It proceeds with an account of the events of the war, starting with an analysis of the invasion of the North of Portugal by the Spanish army and its later withdrawal to Spain. It continues with a description of how the Spanish army, once strengthened by French units, again invaded Portuguese territory, and the events that occurred until its second withdrawal. Despite the numerical superiority of the Bourbon army, the difficulties of the terrain, the efficient command of the Count of Lippe, and the maneuvers of the Anglo-Portuguese army prevented it from reaching victory and forced its return to Spain.

The book is an important piece of research, based on archival material. It explores contemporary correspondence between the Court of Spain and the commanders of the force that invaded Portugal, which is available at the Archive of Simancas. It makes use, moreover, of the correspondence between the Secretary of State of Portugal, the Count of Oeiras, and the Count of Lippe, and between the latter and his subordinate commanders, which is extant at the Military Historical Archive of Lisbon. At the same time, this work is reader-friendly, integrating several notes and original documents that help clarify certain of its major points, as well as a list of the units that participated in the military operations.

1-213811 Cogswell, Neil LOBOSITZ TO LEUTHEN: Horace St Paul and the Seven Years War, 1756-1757 In 1751, at the age of 22 and then a law student, Horace St Paul had, as he described it, 'a difference' with an older man over the favor of a lady. This 'difference' resulted in the death of the older man in an impromptu duel to which there were no witnesses. The investigating coroner directed that St Paul should stand trial for willful murder. With no confidence in the outcome, St Paul fled to France where such affairs of were looked on in a different light. He declined to return home to England to stand trial and was outlawed. St Paul was a handsome young man who was possessed of considerable social graces and received a liberal allowance from his father.

From France, he moved to Brussels, where he was accepted at the Court of Prince Charles of Lorraine, Governor-General of the Austrian Netherlands and brother-in-law of Maria Theresa, the Empress Queen. In 1756 Frederic II of Prussia invaded Saxony thereby precipitating a general war in Europe.

Prince Charles of Lorraine confidently expected to be appointed to the chief command of the Austrian army, once it was fully mobilized. The Prince thought sufficiently well of St Paul to offer him a post at his side as aide-de-camp and sent him to join Marshal Browne, then commanding in Bohemia, as a volunteer to learn something of soldiering. St Paul joined Marshal Browne shortly before the Austrain army advanced to attempt to relieve the Saxons, then besieged at Pirna. Having no regimental duties St Paul kept a journal of the day to day operations of the Austrians, thereby learning his new trade. He was present at the first major action of the war at Lobositz. The following year, now in the suite of Prince Charles of Lorraine, St Paul was present at the great battle outside Prague and was subsequently besieged in that city. He was also in a position to gather eyewitness accounts of other actions - notably that at Kolin - as he accompanied the victorious Austrian forces on their advance from Bohemia into Silesia while the King of Prussia was away seeking to prevent the armies of France and the Empire from re-conquering Saxony. Once in Silesia the Austrian army besieged and stormed the great fortress of Schweidnitz and then crushed the remains of the Prussian army ouside Breslau and captured that Capital city. Nike, the capricious Goddess of Victory, had crowned the triumphant Austrians. Nemesis, the Goddess of Retribution, had other ideas. One month after his stunning victory over the French and Empire forces at Rossbach, King Frederic of Prussia hurled his outnumbered and weary troops against the Austrians at Leuthen just outside Breslau.

The Journal of St Paul is a day by day account. He is not shy to write 'Nothing happened', also when the action is hottest he can be understandably brief. As a man learning his trade, he often records details of almost arcane significance. As his original editor George Grey Butler noted: 'This is not history, but it is the stuff from which history is written.' Accompanying the text are a detailed Gazeteer and Lists of Persons and Regiments indicated in the text as well as 232 plates of maps and plans on which the reader can follow the operations described. This is a landmark work in the history of the Seven Years War. A continuation of this Journal, describing the Campaigns from 1758 to 1760, is in preparation.

1-213812 Cogswell, Neil OLMUTZ TO TORGAU: Horace St Paul and the Campaigns of the Austrian Army in the Seven Years War 1758-60 Following the disastrous conclusion to the campaign of 1757, the Austrian Army regrouped in Bohemia. Meanwhile, the King of Prussia sought to complete his reconquest of Silesia before seizing the initiative and thrusting directly towards Vienna. In his path stood the town of Olmutz, which would prove to be a high-tide mark of the war.

Over the next three years, Austria and her allies inflicted a series of heavy defeats on the Prussians at Hochkirch, Kunersdorf, Dresden, Maxen, Landeshut, and Glatz. By the end of 1760 - with Berlin open to insult by Swedish, Austrian and especially Russian raiders - the King of Prussia was left with no other option than the desperate measure of attacking the Austrian Army in a renowned, strong defensive position on the heights of Suptitz (outside Torgau).

From the near-balletic formality of the battles and sieges of a prior age, the business of war changed during these campaigns. Many of the actions were designed with the objective of annihilation, and the critical moment of several battles came at night; the geometric precision of siege warfare gave way to the indiscriminate horrors of bombardment.

Throughout these campaigns, Horace St Paul - an English gentleman volunteer - continued to accompany Marshal Daun. He noted the day-to-day progress of the army and recorded the essential connective tissue which links the great events of these campaigns - often highlighting occasions where a general action was expected, but does not occur. In parallel, this volume includes accounts from the Prussian perspective - including that of Henri de Catt, to whom the King of Prussia confided his thoughts.

The text is accompanied by 242 plates of maps and statistical information, as well as a detailed gazetteer and lists of persons and regiments named. 1 vol, 712 pgs 2018 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

2-16850 Corbett, Julian S ENGLAND IN THE SEVEN YEARS WAR: 1756-1763 Two-volume set covers England in the Seven Years War (1756-1763). The policy of England - that of Pitt - was to limit the commitment in terms of men; priority was given to the Royal Navy and an indirect form of colonial warfare allied with blockade was established. The naval intricacies, along with their political and land-based military corollaries, are illuminated as ever present simmering tensions between England and France, and the newly emergent Prussia and Austria, lead to a conflict that dragged many other nations into the strife.

The second volume carries the narrative on into 1760: an abortive counter-attack by French forces in Canada; further pressure in Germany thwarted by Frederick and his generals; and the catastrophic intervention of Spain into the war. 1 vol, 884 pgs 1992 UK, GREENHILL BOOKS

1-207610 Cubbison, Douglas ALL CANADA IN THE HANDS OF THE BRITISH: General Jeffery Amherst and the 1760 Campaign to Conquer New France This tells full story of the successful sieges of Montreal that ended France's control of Canada, examines the three principal columns that General Jeffery Amherst's army comprised, only one of which was under his direct command, and also shows how well Brigadier General James Murray's use of what is today called population-centric counterinsurgency corresponded with Amherst's strategic oversight and victory.

In 1760, Amherst led the British campaign that captured Montreal and began the end of French colonial rule in North America. All Canada in the Hands of the British is a detailed account of Amherst's successful military strategy and soldiers' experiences on both sides.

Newly promoted general Jeffery Amherst took command of British forces in North America in 1759 and soon secured victories at Fort Duquesne, Louisbourg, Quebec, Fort Ticonderoga, and Niagara. In 1760 William Pitt, head of the British government, commanded Amherst to eliminate French rule in Canada. During the ensuing campaign, Amherst confronted French resurgence at Quebec and mounted sieges at Isle aux Noix and Fort Levis, both of which were made difficult by French strategic placements on nearby islands.

Using archival materials, archaeological evidence, and the first-hand accounts of junior provincial soldiers, Cubbison takes us from the eighteenth-century antagonisms between the British and French in the New World through the Seven Years' War, to the final siege and its historic significance for colonial Canada. In one of the most decisive victories of the Seven Years' War, Amherst was able, after a mere four weeks, to claim all of Canada.

1-223160 Duffy, Christopher INSTRUMENT OF WAR V1: The Austrian Army in the SYW How did an 18th Century army work? This book is the most important examination of such an army yet done, written by the premier military historian of the era. 72 b/w ills, 6 b/w maps, 3 diags, numerous tables & graphs

Maria Theresa had seen her inheritance almost lost to unprovoked attacks from her neighbors. Her army had stood by her then, and was now trying desperately to improve, as it had to face Frederick the Great, the master-soldier of the era. But she and her ministers soon faced the dilemma of how to fight a war without sacrificing what they were fighting for.

The structure of the army, the life of its soldiers, its strengths and weaknesses, the personalities that gave it such a unique character, from top to bottom, are all considered. Not only is the Austria of Maria Theresa examined, but fascinating views appear of Prussian opponents and French, Swedish and Russian armies. Efforts were made to reshape the army, the state, and the world of diplomacy. Maria Theresa wanted to be a mother to her army, to serve it as faithfully as it served her. This is a study of what problems they faced.

The army and its needs affected all around it. Conscription, taxation, constitutional change, bureaucracy, logistics, all of these dominated countries that never witnessed a campaign. To most of the inhabitants of Central Europe the army was the state, and their lives cannot be understood without examining it. Conscription tells us much about the homelands of the soldiers - the languages they spoke, the professions they served, their willingness to serve what to many was an alien monarch. The army provides an important view of 18th Century Bohemia, Hungary, Croatia, Lombardy, Belgium and Austria. Even the distant Irish played an important role in this army.

But this is no dry commentary. The 18th Century is brought to life not only in the words of Christopher Duffy, but also of the perceptive diplomat Kaunitz, experienced generals like Daun and Loudon, Prussian spies and foreign attaches, a cynical Belgian prince and a young Italian officer, and many others. Their firsthand accounts explain the successes and failures of Austria at war.

The battles and campaigns of the Seven Years War cannot be understood without knowledge of the instruments necessary to conduct such a war. Every serious military historian should read this book.

2-58802 Duffy, Christopher BY FORCE OF ARMS: The Austrian Army in the SYW - Volume 2 To avenge defeats in a former war, Austria assembled a massive superiority in forces thanks to powerful alliances, and an army reformed and far more effective than ever before. But Prussia hung on, to force a long war and a bloody draw. The brilliance of Frederick the Great and the Prussian army have been given credit for this outcome, but Austria had more than its fair share of good soldiers and skilled generals. 51 b/w photos, 69 maps

Wars never turn out as expected when there are formidable foes, and this book tells what went wrong. This is more than an account of battles and marches. The story of the Seven Years War in Central Europe has been long neglected, and yet it was there that the Austrians (followed closely by the Prussians) broke with the former rigidity of the armies of monarchical Europe, and not just foreshadowed but put into actual effect initiatives that are normally associated with the campaigns of the Revolution and Napoleon.

The myth of a limited war leading to indecisive battles is no longer tenable. Not that it lacks a good story of excellent soldiers, some of them left in the limelight when Frederick the Great's legend was created, and of battles long forgotten. A wealth of maps and as many eyewitness accounts as possible have been used to explain what actually happened. This account of the war in central Europe emphasizes and focuses on the operations of the Austrian army. 1 vol, 524 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-214180 Grant, John - edited by Earl Chapman A DANGEROUS SERVICE: A Soldier's View of the Seven Years' War in the Caribbean and North America The Black Watch's John Grant offers eyewitness accounts of military life during the French and Indian War provide fascinating and invaluable insights into the period. Includes the Highland soldier's emotions before and after combat, his will to fight, and, most of all, his perseverance in adversity.

We follow the young Scottish officer to the Caribbean, where he soldiered in the disease-ridden cane fields and swamps of Martinique and Guadeloupe, and later at the siege of Havana, and to North America, where he served at Staten Island, New York and on the Hudson River route to Ticonderoga and points north. He worked on building forts at Oswego and Crown Point and was part of the movement of armies and supplies through the wilderness possible.

With General Jeffery Amherst's force, he survived shooting the treacherous rapids of the St. Lawrence River to capture Montreal in 1760, completing the British conquest of New France. Includes black and white illustrations, maps, notes, appendices, and index. 1 vol, 320 pgs 2017 CANADA, ROBIN BRASS STUDIO

2-67500 Luvaas, Jay editor and translator FREDERICK THE GREAT ON THE ART OF WAR Frederick the Great (1712-1786), King of Prussia, initiated the Seven Years' War in 1756; outfought the formidable French, Russian, and Austrian armies aligned against him; and established Prussia as a major power, thereby decisively influencing the next two centuries of European history. He was also a brilliant military thinker whose observations arose from extensive battlefield experience.

This volume presents a balanced selection from Frederick's writings on strategy, tactics, and mobility; the problems of logistics and a two-front war; the combined use of infantry, cavalry, and artillery; the history of the Prussian army; the critical battles of the Seven Years' War; generalship as an art; and much more. A majority of this material is translated here for the first time in English and available nowhere else. The result is an invaluable glimpse into the inner thoughts of a military genius. 1 vol, 391 pgs 1999 US, DA CAPO PRESS

1-241650 McIntyre, James R. LIGHT TROOPS IN THE SEVEN YEARS WAR: Irregular Warfare in Europe and North America, 1755-1763 Surveys the development of irregular troops, sometimes referred to as light infantry, on both continents over the course of the 18th century. Examines the conduct of small, but at times operationally and even strategically significant, raids, ambushes, and scouting engagements during the 7YW. Examples of these actions include ambushes at Gundersdorf and Domstadtl (1758) and the raid on Fort Bull (1756). Highlights the careers of various practitioners, recognized by contemporaries, as masters at the conduct of irregular warfare. These figures include Johann Ewald, Andreas Graf Hadik von Futak, Simon-Claude Grassin de Glatigny, Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Lery, Graf Nikolas von Luckner, Johann von Monkewitz, and Robert Rogers.

2-203390 Showalter, Dennis FREDERICK THE GREAT: A Military History Frederick the Great is one of history's most important leaders. Famed for his military successes and domestic reforms, his campaigns were a watershed in the history of Europe - securing Prussia's place as a continental power and inaugurating a new pattern of total war that was to endure until 1918.

However, much myth surrounds this enigmatic man - his personality and his role as politician, warrior and king. Showalter's cleverly written book provides a refreshing, multidimensional depiction of Frederick the Great and an objective, detailed reappraisal of his military, political, and social achievements.

Early chapters set the scene with an excellent summary of 18th century Europe - The Age of Reason; an analysis of the character, composition and operating procedures of the Prussian army; and explore Frederick's personality as a young man. Later chapters examine his stunning victories at Rossbach and Leuthen, his defeats at Prague and Kolin and Prussia's emergence as a key European power. 1 vol, 384 pgs 2020 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

Fully illustrated, including 51 maps and 38 orders of battle.

This first volume covers global events to the Battle of Rossbach. But there is one major purpose to this new history. The events of the Seven Years' War are confusing in themselves, but the effects of time and World Wars have been to make following the course of action impossible with the volume of name changes across Europe. For the first time, Digby cuts through the confusions to provide an effective gazetteer of place names to make the understanding of campaigns possible. 1 vol, 300 pgs 2016 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN

1-193200 Tracy, Nicholas Battle of Quiberon Bay, 1759: Hawke and the Defeat of the French Invasion Revered naval theorist, Alfred Thayer Mahan, thought the Battle of Quiberon Bay (20 Nov 1759) was as significant as Nelson's victory in 1805, calling it 'the Trafalgar of this war (the Seven Years War).' Arguably it was even more vital. Britain in 1759 was much less well-defended, with virtually no regular troops at home, and the threat of French invasion was both more realistic and more imminent.

When the British fleet under Admiral Hawke fell upon them, the French ships of the line under Admiral Conflans were actually on their way to rendezvous with the invasion troopships gathered at the mouth of the Loire. Yet the battle and the admiral remain relatively obscure -- there is no Quiberon Square or Hawke's column. The battle itself was fought in terrible weather, the French attempting to exploit their local knowledge by heading for Quiberon Bay, assuming the British would not follow them among its treacherous shoals in such conditions. Hawke, however, pursued them under full sail and the French ships were destroyed, captured, run aground or scattered for the loss of only two British ships which ran aground. The invasion was thwarted. Professor Nicholas Tracy studies the battle and its strategic consequences, particularly upon the war for North America.
