Typical English manuscript, which treats war as a sporting event (or high drama, see his Conclusions), in which one is settling scores. 700+ pages of erudite but very disjoint banter. How many pages one needs to ruminate on a correct (and rather trivial) idea that human behavior is too complex to mold it into a set of predetermined rules? There is a second idea, that action, in societal terms, is moot without proper organization on the basis of strategy. If there is something else, I have missed it.
The author presents himself as well-intent, erudite and pious man but he is completely incapable to make his thought concise and precise. It is very ironic that a person who extols virtues of organization and discipline is incapable to exercise these himself.
