The Greco-Turkish War of 1897 was one of the local conflicts on the outskirts of Europe. However, its importance should not be underestimated: the Eastern question for a century attracted the attention of the great powers, and the fate of the Ottoman Empire worried all European capitals. The short campaign ended with the victory of the Turkish army, which clearly demonstrated that the empire of the sultans is still able to stand up for itself. The experience of this war, as well as other conflicts of that time, was carefully studied by military specialists of all European countries. The book by the famous military theorist Colmar von der Goltz is not only a description of the campaign, but also an understanding of it from a strategic and tactical point of view.
