Military Logistics and Strategic Performance

More about the book

Logistics is presented as a pivotal factor in warfare, influencing strategic success and the ability to seize initiative. The author highlights how armies with dependable supply lines can dictate the conditions of engagements, often gaining an edge over their adversaries. This argument is supported by case studies, including British logistics in the Burma campaign, American innovations in the Pacific War, Communist supply tactics during the Vietnam War, and the logistical dynamics between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces during the Cold War.
