With Frederick the Great: A Tale of the Seven Years WarTotal Time: 11 Hours 32 Minutes Setting: AD 1760 - Germany While we were fighting our “French and Indian War”, the rest of Europe was fighting what is now called “The Seven Years’ War.” Same war, different names! On the continent of Europe, Frederick the Great raised Prussia (modern-day Poland) to the rank of a first rate powerhouse as a result of his incredible military genius, resolution, and the sheer force of his personality. In the progress of the war his armies serially defeated French, Austrian, and Russian armies, and after a few defeats, concluded a somewhat lasting peace in 1763. Our hero, Fergus Drummond, a Scottish lad on the losing side of a war with England, seeks fame and fortune fighting for someone else in Europe as a career. He fights at all the major battles, is twice captured and twice escapes, and finishes his Continental career by marrying a German heiress. Chapter Titles and Times: 1: King and Marshal
