The jacket reads: Frederick the Great, usually remembered solely as an historical figure and a military leader, was also a keenly perceptive writer and military historian. This volume is based on selections from "The Art of War" and other works by Frederick, including military manuals and advice to officers on the conduct of battles. It gives a detailed, intimate picture of military life in the eighteenth century...Useful as a source on eighteenth-century warfare, Frederick's writings are also valuable for the light they shed on military thought in this century. He knew that although only a fraction of his forces could be brought to bear on an enemy, still a handful of men in the right place at the right time could change the course of battle or war.
