Reviewer's comment: This was the standard reference on the subject
until partially superseded by the new book of the same name edited by Peter
Parey

Forward - Colonel Greene - This is largely an effort at an excuse for
why On War was not a reference used (not to mention, taught) at the U.S. Army
Command and Staff School or Army War College prior to WWII. The students were
too busy studying future war to delve into the history of war.
