THE SEVEN YEARS WAR
in EUROPE
1756-1763
FRANZ A. I. SZABO
In this groundbreaking new work, based on a thorough re-reading of primary sources
and new research of the Austrian State Archives, Franz A.
).
Szabo presents a scholarly
but eminently readable and stimulating reassessment of the continental war
-
the first
in nearly a century.
Professor Szabo challenges the well-established myth that the Seven Years War was won
through the military skill and tenacity of the King of Prussia, often styled Frederick the
Greať
Instead he argues that Prussia did not win but merely survived the Seven Years
War, and did so despite and not because of the actions and decisions of its king. The
Seven Years War was not the cabinet war that history has written it to be but a war that
drove all participants to near collapse and, in doing so, changed the face of Europe.
With Nfanrrd
atte
ťion
to all the
maior
participants and to all conflict zones on the
European continent, this volume describes the strategies and tactics of the military-
leaders on all sides, analyses all the major battles of the war and illuminates the
diplomatic, political and financial aspects of the conflict. By providing a clear analysis
of English, French and Prussian, as well as Austrian, Russian and Swedish policies and
actions, the book offers a new perspective on the war as a whole.
FRANZ A. J. SZABO is Professor of History and Director of the
Wirth
Institute for
Austrian and Central European Studies at the University of Alberta in Edmonton,
Canada. Among his publications are Kaiuiitz and Enlightened
Absolutism,
1753-1780
(1994),
which won both the Barbara lelavich Prize of the American Association for the
Advancement of Slavic Studies and the Austrian Cultural Institute Prize for best book
in Austrian Studies. He has been awarded the Austrian Order of Merit for the Arts and
Sciences for
ean scholarship
