History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 19, written by Thomas Carlyle and first published in 1858, provides a detailed historical account of Frederick the Great's military and political strategies during the Seven Years' War. The narrative focuses on the events of 1759-1760, illustrating Frederick's challenges as he transitions from an offensive to a defensive military posture amidst dwindling resources and personal losses, including the death of his sister, Wilhelmina.
