What is the author's style in Strategy by B. H. Liddell Hart?

The intended audience is certainly collegiate level educated, or else intended for people who have educated families. This is clear from the vocabulary which, while not uncommon among the educated, might leave some folks feeling as if they have been duped due to the use of "pointlessly complex language". This is a legitimate criticism with a perfectly just rebuttal: how does it help to dumb down rather than to uplift those readers who will take the trouble to improve their vocabularies by reading this book? However, Liddell Hart makes a very similar criticism of Clausewitz, arguing that the prose in which it is written is overly complex, just because that author had been reading Kant rather than "Reader's Digest" or the daily local newspaper.
