Why don't you start by reading it?

Table of contents looks okay, but his other books give me pause, particularly his Metaphysics of War which is an attempt to glorify the role of maleness in war. I'm fine with examining rituals of initiation, especially given the guy was a WWI artillery officer, but he strikes me as just another redpill anon. I'm worried his convictions will make this book useless in 2017 and beyond.

I would have to pay full price to start reading the book, guy.

You won't understand it properly unless you have read the two prior books in the trilogy, Revolt Against the Modern World, and Men Among the Ruins.

I'd also recommend reading Rene Guenon's "Crisis of the Modern World" as a prerequisite too. Gives a good introduction into Traditionalist and Perennialist thought.

I'd probably ensure you have a good understanding of Nietzsche, Plato, de Maistre etc as well.

Metaphysics of War is basically a book about how modern warfare is awful and devoid of honour and chivalry of old.

Never change, conservatives. :^)

Is cherry picking the only way you can make a sensible argument? :^)

There is no point in reading something that goes against your beliefs in any way.
