Instructions For His Generals
Frederick the Great was one of the most brilliant military leaders that has ever lived. Frederick’s extensive personal experience of warfare is extremely visible in his Instructions for his Generals and Particular Instruction of the King of Prussia to the Officers of his Army, and especially those of the Cavalry. Both are included in this edition. Lieut. Colonel T. Foster translated the work into English in 1797. It remains a fascinating text that allows the reader to understand the mind of this military genius.
