"Frederick the Great and the Rise of Prussia" by William Fiddian Reddaway is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides a detailed examination of the life of Frederick the Great, focusing on his role in the transformation of Prussia from a fragmented collection of territories to a powerful state under his rule. The book likely explores themes of leadership, military strategy, and the broader context of European politics during Frederick's reign. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent to outline Frederick the Great’s life and achievements as well as their connection to the rise of Prussia, drawing upon a wide array of primary and secondary sources for a thorough narrative. Reddaway discusses the historical backstory of the Hohenzollern family and outlines the circumstances Frederick inherited, including the socio-political climate of the time. It sets the stage for understanding Frederick's ambitions, the complex familial ties, and the legacy of his predecessors, particularly as they impacted the governance and military might that would define Prussia in the years to come.
