Audiobook of Von Clausewitz’ On War
19th Century
Librivox has a free audiobook of Carl Von Clausewitz’ On War.
A classic work on military strategy by a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars. The author’s style is dialectical: he makes two strong but opposing statements and then draws them together to describe many facets of war. Free of technical jargon, and suitable for modern readers. This audiobook is based on a 1909 English translation.
Thanks to F.H. for the tip.

The Nagziger Collection Online
18th Century, 19th Century, Pike and Shot
For many years, George’s Nafziger’s collection of orders of battle for conflicts dating from the 1600s to the 1900s have been a mainstay of the historical wargaming community.
Once available only commercially, Nafziger recently donated his collection to the Army’s Combined Arms Research Library.
The actual files are available as pdfs here. But as they’re numbered and not named, you’ll also want to consult the finding aid here. And a search function.
