| Summary: | "Frederick William, the 'Great Elector' of Brandenburg (1640-88) was the founder of Prussia, itself the forerunner of the united Germany of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries." "In 1640 the Great Elector inherited a minor territory devastated by the Thirty Years War. He restored its fortunes, won its independence and built a powerful, extended state, centred on Berlin. By the 1670s and 1680s he was successful enough to become a major player in the wars of Louis XIV. At his death in 1688, Frederick William was virtually an absolute monarch, and his Brandenburg and other possessions - shortly to be reinvented as the kingdom of Prussia - were second only to Austria in the German lands." "This biography, the first in English for fifty years, avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as the precursor of the 'enlightened' Frederick the Great. Instead, it roots him firmly in his own time - a dynastic, protestant prince like other German and European rulers, but one tough and opportunistic enough to overcome the opposition of his subjects and neighbouring powers."--BOOK JACKET |
