Below is a list of English-langauge public domain books that i've found online over the course of the past couple of months. Although not all of them are about the Seven Years War specifically, they are all linked some way. Unfortunately, the books that are uploaded are simply what certain institutions have in their libraries, meaning that you'll be able to find volume two or three of a book but be unable to find volume one. I have divided the books into 3 groups:
1. BIOGRAPHIES AND MEMOIRS
2. MANUALS AND TREATISE
3. GENERAL HISTORIES
2. MANUALS AND TREATISE
3. GENERAL HISTORIES
These are books that I have found by haphazardly searching names of battle and personalities, and it is highly likely that there are more out there. If you know of anymore I'd be very grateful if you could send me the links as I'm always looking for new things to read.
I have sent all of these links to the SYW Project, which also has a number of other books in French and German. If you don't speak these languages you should still visit the site for the fact that it contains entries for nearly every SYW unit including uniform plates. You can find it at: http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=EBooks
