Read Howard and Paret's version. There's some slight interpretative controversies in a few places but nothing major, and nothing you need worry about unless you're already knees deep in secondaries. Clausewitz is definitely worth reading, the first and last chapter even if nothing else, and his philosophical system and method is very interesting even if you don't have an interest in war.
