Books on the Seven Years War?

[Mannstein]

Does anyone know some good books that cover the Seven years war? Preferably ones that cover Prussian campaigns. Although a general overview of the entire war would be nice as well. I just finished reading Iron Kingdom by Christopher Clark, and although it gave a good overview of the Prussian part, it was just that an overview. I want more specifics.
Only English books though.

Since no one else seems to bother.

You should go for The Seven Years War in Europe: 1756-1763 by Franz A.J. Szabo.

If you really want extra details then Christopher Duffy is the thing: The Army of Frederick the Great and By Force of Arms: The Austrian Army in the Seven Years war. Both books provides some nice details about the campaigns and battles but the latter might not be easy and cheap to get anymore.
