The present publication contains the English translation of four works written in Hungarian language on military science by soldier, statesman, poet and writer Miklós Zrínyi in their supposed order of origin. The texts of Vitéz hadnagy (Valiant Lieutenant), Mátyás király életéről való elmélkedések (Reflections on the Life of King Matthias), Az török áfium ellen való orvosság… (A Remedy for the Turkish Opium, or the Antidote to the Peace between the Turks and the Hungarians) and Tábori kis tracta (A Short Treaties on the Army) are accompanied by valuable notes by Péter Kulcsár and all the non-Hungarian quotes are also translated into English thus providing a very special novelty for those who are interested in the Hungarian literature of military science.

The current publication is necessitated by the fact that, on the 400th anniversary of Zrínyi’s birth, these works were added to the Collection of National Defence Values due to their significance in the defence sector from national-defence and military aspects.
