It is based on the last line of chapter 3 of 孫子兵法 (Sunzi Bingfa) Sunzi's Art of War. The line runs: 故曰：知彼知己，百戰不殆；不知彼而知己，一勝一負；不知彼，不知己，每戰必敗。 Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. The Classical Chinese is surprisingly easy LOL If you try reading Zhuangzi in the original a Daoist mystic philosopher who is also very funny that stuff is hard.

Two of the bonus tracks for this album are also really great songs. "Swedish Pagans" is one of them which is also one of their most played songs live. The other is "Glorious Land". Really recommend that you check out these while doing the album.

I am happy to see you reacting to the Art of War! I think most if not all of the songs on this album is great!

Sun Tzu - so epic that historians initially thought he was an amalgam. He did for war what Newton did for physics.

Yeah this album is awesome. But it doesn't beat the Carolus Rex album xD But that's maybe coz that one is closer to home. Another perfect timing for watching while having a breakfast before the stress of the day begins. Salutations to you, have a good one!

ok for those wondering what a 'Feigned Retreat' is, it's basically a false retreat to lure your opponent into either a trap or less than favorable terrain in which you'll be able to gainthe upper hand easier.

What about Carolus Rex album? I'm pretty sure you heard whole both swedish and English versions
