Sûn Tzû - Hunera Şer (Sun Tsu - The Art of War).
This small sized book is published by YPG to it's sodiers to get familiar with thoughts of the world's best known war manual. And it sure is important to know as most likely all the war strategists have read this book.
The book by Sun Tsu (Chinese: 孫子兵法 Sūnzǐ bīngfǎ) is the oldest war manual that has survived to this day and it sure is a timeless classic in my opinion. I have read it few times (different translations and editions) and last time was actually just before heading to Rojava.
This edition that YPG has published has no detailed information for book maniacs like me but then again, I guess it is not that important as the fact that soldiers read it. Most likely it is the translation from the version (or manuscript) from the era of Song dynasty as it has only 13 chapters. The more larger edition from Han-dynasty usually has 5 extra chapters. Translator to Kurmanji language nor the publishing year is not mentioned.
