In the last video, three battles in nine months turned a dead revolution into America. Today, one king fights the same war — from the other side. Frederick the Great is surrounded by France, Russia, Austria, and Sweden simultaneously. His army is smaller than any single enemy army. In thirty days, he will destroy two of them. Each one twice his size.
