-Everyone expressing a erudite opinion about Clausewitz or “ON WAR” has completely missed the point here.
-The question is NOT whether Clausewitz or “On War” is an essential read for everyone interested in military hsitory or military affairs. THAT is a moot piont to the Nth Degree.
-The REAL question IS – WHY would you pay $595.oo for a book that has the same identical information as another book for $30.oo ?!?!?!?
-That is the ONLY question regarding THIS particular version of “ON WAR”.
-Its the ECONOMICS, stupid !!

yes yes On War is a hard book to read and I my self have had to read it several times to gleam the basic understanding I have of it now, but more importantly is how wonderful it was reading it on my Pocket PC. I own a Jornada 548 Pocket PC, which I recommend to all Pocket PC buyers. It was very clear and the ability to go to annotated text easily and my highlights made it very simple to refer back to text I needed when writing a paper on the book. I own the paperback as well, but I feel that the E-book format is far superior and suggest all persons who can to get for their Portable Handheld, Desktop, or Laptop.

I have the On War published by IAP, in November 2008 and it costs just US$9.99. I like it. I don’t know why it is not listed when we search it.

There is a reason that this is a classic. If I’m a teacher at a war college like
West Point , I can assign chapters
and test the students on the understanding of the material.
It is more in the western form of learning than Sun Tzu’s classic.
Where does it fail?
Even at this time the “staff” type running of war
that defeated Napoleon was being used by joint European powers.
The running of a war has come to be viewed as like that of an effective business.
You even need a officially authorized staff to deal with civilian complaints.
The modern algebraic approaches of games theory ( Rapoport ) for tactics and
systems theory ( Asimov ) for long range strategy are what spoil this book for me.
War as an object of nationalistic policy has been ruined by science in our time.
The terrorists have tried to breath new life into the very ancient war of faith
by killing their own people at a greater rate than they do the enemy.
Logistically that approach is destined to failure:
you just run out of soldiers fool enough to die for their god.
Carl von Clausewitz was sold on “genius” as the answer to war problems.
I reflect accounting ability may be as vital.
