Maurice's Strategikon: Handbook of Byzantine Military Strategy translated by George T. Dennis

This is definitely a book for a select audience. Those are interested in Byzantine military matters will find it very useful. All sorts of things from the use of hunting as training for war, to what to do with your baggage train, to why you should always have a reserve, to discussions of various foes and what tactics to use with each.

I haven’t read it, but I have read Edward Luttwak’s The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire, which I found fascinating. Have you by any chance read that?
