“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” Considered one of the oldest and finest treatises on war and military strategy, The Art of War is a text that has been cherished by military leaders not only in Asia throughout the centuries but also by the entire modern world.

Written somewhere in the 6th or 5th century B.C., the treatise, which guides a general on how to manage their army under any circumstances, whether offensively or defensively, is said to have been one of the reasons for the great victories of Mao Zedong, the Viet Cong, and even Napoleon himself.

Today, the author’s advice is applied not only by military personnel but also in the fields of international relations, entrepreneurship, and even in the reader's relationships with any third party in everyday life.

This Greek translation, which is based not only on the recognized Western translations from the early 20th century but also on the archaeological, historical, and philological discoveries made since then, includes a significant number of original footnotes and comments so that the original text can be fully understood by the reader.
