Review: Van Creveld at his usual High standard of excellence. A fine study in the effects of logistics on the mind of a commander. How supply can determine not only wether a battle is won or lost but wether a battle is fought soley for supplies sake. The chapter on Napoleons Russian campaign in particular destroys a number of commonly held misconceptions about the disaster. Not recommended for horse lovers though. The poor animals where as expendable as cartridges.
