The publisher claims that this is "not a mere miracle of condensation. It is the best possible introduction to more extended reading; while, taken in itself, it provides readers, who have no time for closer study, with a clear grasp of the general course of events & of the principles (& the errors) of the opposing strategies." - see sleeve notes. Nice copy in dw. See illustration on our website.
