Description
Logistics in World War II 1939-1945 by John Norris is a detailed study of the often-overlooked role of logistics in the outcome of every campaign and battle during World War Two. By examining astounding facts and figures, as well as firsthand accounts, Norris sheds light on the scale of the task faced by all belligerents in equipping vast forces and supplying them in the field. The book explores how logistics played a decisive role in the war, from the maintenance of supply trucks to the use of pack mules. It also delves into the impact of logistics on those involved at the sharp end, including men and women in the logistics chain. With numerous photographs, Norris brings this neglected aspect of World War Two history to life. This first volume of two looks at the early years of the war, examining how logistics influenced key events such as the Blitzkrieg and the British army's loss of equipment at Dunkirk.
