BBC4 - September 2011

CHRIS WILSON - PRODUCER & EDITOR

Historian Christopher Clark re-examines the life and achievements of one of the greatest warriors and leaders in modern European history: Prussia’s Frederick the Great. Frederick’s reputation, and that of his native Prussia, has been tarnished by association with Hitler's Nazi regime. But this film reveals the truth about one of Germany's most colourful and controversial leaders, a military giant who was also lauded as a philosopher, musician and cultured 'Prince of the Enlightenment'.
