I've heard of this one. I think that it's a reprint.

All 1024 pages of it are free. This should be a good-quality edition--it's published by Simon & Schuster.
It's the Aylmer Maude translation which is in the public domain, so it's freely available elsewhere.

The Dunnigan translation of War and Peace from 1968 is supposed to be one of the best. It's not free, but it is available for $1.99 at Amazon US. War and Peace (Signet Classics)

Here's the section of the Wikipedia article talking about the different English translations available: Comparing translations

(I went down a War and Peace rabbit hole a few months ago).
