The Logistics of War : A Historical Perspective ; 2001: 2001

By Rainey, James C.

Summary
Description: The Logistics of War provides today's military logistician with a tool to see how past logisticians faced the greatest challenges brought forth by the pressures of war. It also provides the military logistician with a ready historical reference. The Logistics of War will also stimulate interest and thought and answer questions such as What? Why? and How? The Logistics of War is a collection of three works that examine both broadly and specifically the history of US military logistics: The Logistics of Waging War--American Logistics, 1774-1985--Emphasizing the Development of Airpower, The Logistics of Waging War--US Military Logistics 1982-1993--The End of Brute Force Logistics, and the History of US Military Logistics: 1935-1985, A Brief Review. The Logistics of Waging War--American Logistics, 1774-1985--Emphasizing the Development of Airpower was originally published by the Air Force Logistics Management Agency as part of Project Warrior. While retaining its original character, this work has been extensively edited, reorganized, and two new sections added: ""The Logistics Constant Throughout the Ages"" and ""General Logistics Paradigm: A Study of the Logistics of Alexander, Napoleon, Sherman."" Readers of the old work will find this new version easy to navigate through and bit more user friendly. The Logistics of Waging War--US Military Logistics 1982-1993--The End of Brute Force Logistics, also originally published by the Air Force Logistics Management Agency, has likewise been extensively edited and updated. The final work is Jerome G. Peppers', Jr, seminal work on the history of US military logistics.
