Supplying War by Martin van Creveld

An influential study of military logistics, revealing how supplies, transport and organisation can determine what armies are actually capable of achieving.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in history and the structures behind major events. He appreciated books that looked beyond famous commanders and dramatic battles to examine the practical decisions, limitations and systems operating beneath them. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Martin van Creveld, Supplying War: Logistics from Wallenstein to Patton examines the systems that allowed armies to move, fight and remain operational across several different periods of military history.

Rather than concentrating solely on battles, the book explores supply lines, transport, movement, distance and strategic planning, showing how logistical strengths and limitations could shape the course of entire campaigns.

A detailed and analytical study for readers interested in military history, strategy and the organisation required to sustain armed forces in the field.
