720 pp.

Polyaenus supported the Roman emperors with a work on "Strategika", on 
strategical tricks. He presents examples from Greek and Roman history 
from men and women to show the impact of persuasion and surprise, of 
currying favours and creating anxieties, and not least of deception an 
trickery to achieve one's aims. The book allows a unique insight into 
ancient strategical thinking and enables us to transfer its advice for 
managers of armies to managing businesses – and life.

This is the first Greek-German bilingual edition. It is published as a 
hardcover book and also available online.
