About the book

"History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 13" by Thomas Carlyle is part of a biographical work published between 1858 and 1865. This thirteenth volume completes Carlyle's monumental six-volume life of Frederick the Great of Prussia, a project that consumed thirteen years of the author's life. Drawing on extensive research, battlefield visits, and countless German sources, Carlyle crafted what contemporaries praised as a masterwork of literary genius—filled with wit, vivid character portraits, and dramatic battle scenes that military students studied for decades.
