In January 1758 Count Wilhelm Fermor marched into East Prussia at the head of 45,000 Russians. Frederick the Great was dismissive of the Russian army and failed to take the threat seriously. With the Russians laying siege to the fortress of Cü strin, Frederick crossed the River Oder and cut their supply lines. On 25 August the two armies met at Zorndorf. This book details the bitter day-long battle in which the Russian infantry refused to buckle. Casualties were horrific, the Russians losing almost half their army. Frederick had managed to stave off the Russian threat but his opinion of their army had changed dramatically.Simon Dunstan is the author of 'Other [Battles-Set]: The Yom Kippur War 1973 (2) The Yom Kippur War 1973 (1) Zordorf 1758 Poltava 1709 Gravelotte-St-Privat 1870 (Praeger Illustrated Military History) (v. 1 & 2)', published 2005 under ISBN 9780275988975 and ISBN 027598897X.
