Summary "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 19" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the military and political strategies of Frederick the Great during the tumultuous era of the Seven Years' War, capturing the complexities of his leadership and the challenges faced by Prussia. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for the events of 1759-1760, detailing the distribution of armies and the precarious situation of Frederick as he braces for a fourth campaign. Carlyle outlines the intricate positions of the Austrians, French, and Prussians, highlighting Frederick's dwindling resources and the heavy burdens of warfare, as well as his lapses into despair over the losses he has endured, including the death of his beloved sister, Wilhelmina. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Frederick is shifting from an offensive to a defensive posture, preparing for the grim realities of sustained conflict while grappling with his internal sorrows and the dire fate of his once-mighty army.
