Know Your Enemy is an album by the Manic Street Preachers. Released in March 2001 on Virgin Records.
The album derives its name from Sun Tzu's The Art of War Part III, 'Act Of Strategum' the English translation being "So it is said that if you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle".
