PRUSSIA'S GLORY: Rossbach & Leuthen 1757

2-72710

The Great Battles of History include the Prussian victories of Rossbach and Leuthen. The expert on 18th-century armies, Christopher Duffy, shows why French, Austrian, and Reichsarmee soldiers, though often enough brave and skillful, marched to defeat, and how Frederick the Great, often unaware of the legend he was creating, won these famous battles. It is no longer left to myth, but to reliable accounts of hard fighting, quick decisions, and the fate of the soldiers and civilians swept up by the fighting. Reprint contains 216 Pages, 26 black and white illustrations, and 25 black and white maps.
