See all formats and editions
This wide-ranging military history examines the vital yet overlooked role of logistics through the global evolution of warfare.

An army cannot operate without supplies, yet military researchers and historians often overlook the essential aspect of logistics. In this comprehensive study, Jeremy Black provides an informative yet concise world history of military logistics through the ages.

With special focus on key conflicts, Black examines such factors as climate, geography, food supplies, welfare of troops, payment, transport, communications, terrain, and distance. He also considers related factors including government policy, stability, and financial conditions. He covers the sweep of history, from ancient and medieval times to modern eras of industrial warfare, highlighting technological advances from oil and steam to cyber warfare and smart weapons.

Nick Keighley
1.0 out of 5 stars Padded. Slow.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2022
Verified Purchase
The author follows the rule of never using a $2 word when a $10 word is available.

I know we can expect Logistics to be a dry subject, the author rendered it duller than expected.

It jumps around even within a paragraph.

Unusually I returned the book for a refund.
