Description - Frederick the Great by Nancy Mitford
A sparkling biography of one of history's greatest rulers, written in Nancy Mitford's trademark gossipy style
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY KATE WILLIAMS
Frederick II of Prussia attempted to escape his authoritarian father as a boy, but went on to become one of history's greatest rulers. He loved the flute, and devoted hours of study to the arts and French literature, forming a long-lasting but turbulent friendship with Voltaire. He was a military genius and enlarged the borders of his empire, but he also promoted religious tolerance, economic reform and laid the foundation for a united Germany. Nancy Mitford brings all these contradictions and achievements to sparkling life in an fascinating, intimate biography.
