The Silesian Loan and Frederick the Great

This book is a historical study of the Silesian loan, a controversial financial transaction that took place in the 18th century between Frederick the Great of Prussia and British merchants. It examines the political and economic factors that led to the loan, as well as the impact of the loan on Prussian-British relations. The book provides a detailed analysis of the loan's terms and conditions, and argues that it was a critical factor in Prussian military successes during the Seven Years' War.
