The "Other" Clausewitz Book
"Principles of War" is a great little read if you've already read "On War" by Clausewitz. It would also make a great introduction to that larger work if you've never read it. "Principles of War" is not as dense as "On War" and reads like a completed treatise than it's larger relative. The "Principles of War" is clear, concise and to the point. A great pocket read.

Amateurish Production
On War is one of several seminal political/historical books that come in a litany of editions, and it is for that reason I must warn anyone thinking of buying this version to avoid it. I was looking for a hardcover version specifically to have a nice, durable version for future reading. Instead, I got a travesty. The font size is inconsistent, the cover looks like it...

On War is one of several seminal political/historical books that come in a litany of editions, and it is for that reason I must warn anyone thinking of buying this version to avoid it. I was looking for a hardcover version specifically to have a nice, durable version for future reading. Instead, I got a travesty. The font size is inconsistent, the cover looks like it was resized in MSPaint (pixelation and poor definition) and even the formatting is inconsistent throughout (erratic hyphenation, ever changing margins). Do not waste your time and money on this one, there are far better copies available.

Confusing...,

This review is from: On War (Hardcover)
While I have not had the opportunity to read through the book yet I have received it and just thought I'd share my initial perception and hopefully clarify some confusion. The first part of this book was binded with a publication entitled "Moral and Religious Duty of a Chiropractor" and I've been searching at length to determine if there was some kind of connection that I was wholly unaware of, but being unable to find one I've determined it was probably an error on the part of the publishing company and leads me to disrecommend this particular version for anyone considering. I have to second the previous commenter's sentiment about the inconsistent sizing of the fonts and overall terrible formatting in this book. However, the content is all there and the binding is sturdy so I suppose if you don't mind the formatting this version may be for you.

Just in case...this book as well as the art of war are required reading for military officers.
