Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 18" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. This volume specifically details the intense and strategic military campaigns of Frederick the Great of Prussia during the Seven Years' War, particularly focusing on the period from 1757 to 1759. The text chronicles the alliances formed against Frederick and the considerable military challenges he faced from various powers, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of one of history’s most turbulent times. The opening of this volume presents the precarious situation of Frederick II, who finds himself targeted by a coalition of nations with a combined population of over 100 million and a massive force of armed soldiers being assembled against him. Carlyle vividly describes the political intrigue and threats surrounding Frederick, including plans for his partition by rival powers like Austria and France, as well as their diplomatic maneuvers. Despite being outnumbered and surrounded on multiple fronts, Frederick is depicted as a resilient and cunning military leader, ready to confront the looming conflict head-on. The narrative not only sets the stage for battles to come but also introduces the complex geopolitical landscape of 18th-century Europe. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
