Why did Napoleon succeed in 1805 but fail in 1812? Could the
European half of World War II have been ended in 1944? These are
only two of the many questions that form the subject-matter of this
meticulously researched, lively book. Drawing on a very wide range
of unpublished sources, van Creveld examines the specifics of war:
namely, those formidable problems of movement and supply,
transportation and administration, so often mentioned - but rarely
explored - by the vast majority of books on military history. In
doing so he casts his net far and wide, from Gustavus Adolphus to
Rommel, from Marlborough to Patton, subjecting the operations of
each to a thorough analysis from a fresh and unusual point of view.
In this new edition with a new introduction, van Creveld revisits
his now-classic text, and comments in a new afterword on the role
of logistics in high-tech, modern warfare.
