BY FORCE OF ARMS: The Austrian Army in the SYW - Volume 2

3-58802

This account of the Seven Years War in central Europe emphasizes and focuses on the operations of the Austrian army. 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. Contains 51 b/w photos and 69 maps.
