Description

Frederick Barbarossa: The Prince and the Myth

This biography paints a rich picture of a consummate diplomat and effective warrior, exploring his remarkable ability to rule an empire that stretched from the Baltic to Rome, and from France to Poland. John Freed mines recently published charters and other sources to shed new light on Barbarossa's success.

The book also considers the impact of Frederick's death in the Third Crusade as the key to his lasting heroic reputation, and examines how Hitler's audacious attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 came to be called "Operation Barbarossa".
