On War (Vom Kriege)

No book-club issue applies to a work of this date. The principal trap is scope: Vom Kriege is volumes 1-3 only, and sets or single volumes from the Hinterlassene Werke are sometimes offered as 'On War, first edition' when they are in fact campaign volumes (vol. 4 Italien 1796; vols. 5-6 Italien und der Schweiz 1799; vol. 7 Rußland 1812/1813/Frankreich 1814; vol. 8 Frankreich 1815; vols. 9-10 Gustav Adolph, Turenne, Luxemburg). Conversely, the complete ten-volume set is the full first edition of the Werke. Later German editions from the third onward carry editorial alterations to the text, so the 1832-34 volumes are the only unaltered state.
