By Peter V. Nash
From Baird Maritime:
Even in these days of wide-ranging, nuclear powered, water and oxygen creating warships, navies are still very dependent on a strong supply chain.
Ammunition, aircraft fuel, spare parts, ship fuel, lubricants and food are all constantly expended at the front. They require ongoing topping up.
Wherever navies go, this logistical supply chain is required to connect them with their homes. Endless generals and admirals throughout history have shown the dangerous folly of inadequate logistics.
This very detailed and scrupulously researched book shows clearly how the American and British navies developed very effective logistical support systems in the first half of the twentieth century. These systems served them well in the First and, particularly, the Second World Wars.
Naval officers, young, old and everywhere, should study this important book very carefully.
