With Frederick the Great: A Story of the Seven Years' War

G. A. Henty

1897

Adventure

A young Scottish orphan, shattered by his father's death at Culloden, crosses into a foreign land to forge a new life under the most brilliant military mind of the age. Fergus Drummond arrives in Berlin as the drums of war begin to sound, entering the service of Frederick the Great as Prussia faces a coalition of empires: France, Austria, Russia, all united to crush the upstart kingdom. What follows is a boy's rapid transformation into a soldier, witnessed through battles won by daring tactics and lost to overwhelming numbers, through the claustrophobia of siege and the thunder of cavalry charges. Henty's gift was making history breathe, and here he places readers inside the machinery of 18th-century warfare while never losing sight of the human cost. The novel grapples with an uncomfortable truth: Fergus fights for Prussia while Britain arms her enemies, and loyalty becomes a more complicated thing when home and honor point in different directions. For readers who crave adventure with historical texture, who want to feel the weight of a musket and the chill of a Prussian winter, this is a dispatch from a world at war.
