Hi everyone,
If anyone's interested in reading history books and discussing it in a group of fellow /his/torians, please join us. We're starting with an abridged version of Clausewitz's "On War" published by Oxford's World Classics collection.
The group will be reading 10 pages a day of Clausewitz, but you're free to read more or less than that. Feel free, too, to join the discussion whenever you feel like! All we want is to share ideas, spur interest in history and attain knowledge.
WE HAVE PDF/EPUB COPIES OF ALL THE BOOKS WE ARE VOTING FOR. So no need to go out and buy anything, as they will be freely distributed to you. In fact, here is a link to a free download of the abridged clausewitz:

If you want to deepen your knowledge or supplement the discussion I recommend looking at the oxford annotated bibliography article dedicated to Clausewitz, as the bookanon does in the recommendation threads.
If you're interested go to sci-hub.cc and copypasta the following code

besides the article on clausewitz, you'll find other works discussing him in this section on strategy, though there will be some overlap in books.

Pretty cool. How long do we have to read it
>>2337696
Figure about a month, so a really good amount of time for just about anyone.
>>2337696
3 to 4 weeks. the chatroom will also be open so we can discuss it as we're reading. hopefully, people will post memes, ask questions about confusing bits and discuss the history and theory around the work
