L’Histoire de la guerre de 1741 relates the complexities around succession in Austria. The Enlightenment philosopher was less interested in events than in men, and did not hesitate to debunk the myth of military glory. The present edition makes it possible to appreciate Voltaire’s work as a historian, as well as his limitations.
