 I was at once struck by how useful some of this information is, and how quaint and outdated other parts of it are. If we are to face another war against fascists (and the probability of that seems to be increasing every week), this document is in need of a comprehensive upgrade.

Chapters 4 and 5 were problematic in many ways, as their structure varies greatly from the first three chapters, and their formatting was often internally inconsistent. Chapters 1 and 2 were oddly numbered, and those numbers were removed in the Gutenberg version, which makes sense.
