description:   At the beginning of the eighteenth century Prussia was but one in a mosaic of German states, but it rose to be the unchallenged leader of German-speaking Europe after the fall of Napoleon. The book goes beyond an examination of the political, military and diplomatic concerns of the Prussian elite, whose record of events is the one upon which most histories of Prussia are based, and sets out to explain its rise in relation to Prussian society as a whole. The book consists of specially commissioned articles from leading authorities in the field and offers general critical accounts of the main areas of Prussian history including foreign policy, the military, religion, and social protest. For those interested in German or European history.
