"Books from the French point of view" Topic

During the seven years war, with emphasis on the war against British/Hanoverians in Germany.

Pajol. ( yes same family) can look for more but don't even dream of anything translated!
But some might be on google books,
Pfef.fr.fr/Page_Principale.htm
Has several links, letters etc. A list of books that can be loaded on bnf ( fr natl. Library)
Obviously all in French.

If you read French, Pajol's multi-volume "Les Guerres spud Louis XV" is what you need.

I'm a little late!

So I'm bonned.

Not sure, but eboks sometimes can be loaded in text. So prompt or google translate will give you an idea.

If you read German – Walther Medieger, Herzog Ferdinand von Braunschweig-Lüneburg & die alliierte Armee im Siebenjährigen Krieg, publ. 2012. The most recent in depth coverage of this part of the war & among the best. Not so biased as it gives the French the credit they deserve. A very good read.

Don't read German either but closer than French.

Richard Waddington, La Guerre de Sept Ans 5 volumes 1907 is the finest history of the war. It is available on line or in paper reprint (hard copy of online version) by Elibron Classics. My poor French has allowed me to read it after I acquired an original set about 30 years ago. If any native French speakers out there want to collaborate on a decent translation, let me know.

The extensive correspondence between Broglie and other principals, particularly Xavier.

The memoirs of a captain of piquets Campagnes de J. de Mercoyrol de Beaulieu has many interesting points for both WAS and SYW. Nafziger has produced an adequate translation last spring.
