Download Strategika books, Polyainos schrieb für die römischen Kaiser ein Werk über Stragetika, über strategische Tricks.

So bietet das Werk einen einmaligen Einblick in das antike Denken und zugleich viele hundert strategische Tricks nicht nur von Männern, sondern auch von Frauen – und heute nicht nur für Schiffs-, sondern auch für Wirtschaftskapitäne.
