Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive examination of Polyaenus' Stratagems in War, a historic collection of military tactics and strategies from ancient Greece. The collection includes over 900 stratagems attributed to legendary military leaders, providing valuable insights into the art of warfare in the ancient world. Polyaenus, a Macedonian soldier and writer of the 2nd century CE, compiled these stratagems from various sources, including military treatises, historical accounts, and oral traditions. The book thus offers a unique glimpse into the military strategies and tactics employed by Greek generals and their opponents from the earliest times to the era of Alexander the Great. The stratagems cover a wide range of topics, including ambushes, deception, espionage, fortifications, logistics, and siege warfare. They are arranged in eight books, each focusing on a specific aspect of military operations. The book's thematic depth and the unparalleled insights it provides into ancient military strategy make it an invaluable resource for scholars, military historians, and anyone interested in the art of war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
