Leuthen

3.6(5)

Leuthen reconstructs Frederick the Great’s victory over the Austrians on 5 December 1757 during the Seven Years’ War. Beckett explains the strategic crisis facing Prussia, the movement of both armies and Frederick’s use of manoeuvre to strike a larger force under Prince Charles of Lorraine. The battle is placed within eighteenth-century drill, command and battlefield practice, showing why Leuthen became one of the most celebrated examples of Frederick’s generalship.
