Join us for a lecture and book signing by German historian Jürgen Overhoff on the new English translation of his study George Washington and Frederick the Great: Parallel Lives. Dr. Overhoff will share with us new insights about George Washington and Frederick the Great (aka the King of Prussia), two of the most important and influential statesmen of the 18th century. His talk will explore each man's significance not only in the context of America and Germany but in the larger context of Atlantic history. Learn how the first American president and the eminent Prussian king each embodied the competition between liberal democracy and authoritarianism. This study of their political rivalry is a timely comparison as America commemorates its 250th anniversary in 2026. For local residents, this talk will also shed light on the historical figure after whom the "King of Prussia" area was named.Location: St. Luke's Fellowship Church, 200 W. Main St. Trappe, PA
