Drawing on a very wide range of unpublished and previously unexploited sources, Martin van Creveld examines the nuts and bolts of war. He considers the formidable problems of movement and supply, transportation and administration, often mentioned (but rarely explored) by the vast majority of books on military history. By concentrating on logistics rather than on the more traditional tactics and strategy, van Creveld is also able to offer an original reinterpretation of military history.
