"Logistics: The Key to Victory" is thoroughly researched and provides a valuable overview of the development of logistics from the Roman and Chinese empires to the modern era, offering insightful arguments about ways of thinking in logistics. However, the author’s writing style is highly academic, with long sentences and many difficult or technical terms, making it heavy to read. The arguments are sometimes unclear, making it hard for readers to grasp the main ideas. Overall, the content is good, but the writing style makes the book harder to read than necessary.

All commanders know that an army (or navy) cannot operate without supplies, yet most aspects of war studies emphasize strategy, tactics, weaponry, and command. Jeremy Black fills a gap in war studies with logistics as a huge subject at the center of all conflict, globally and historically.

The focus is on key conflicts, developments, and concepts--illustrating the vital role of logistics with technologies changing but underlying issues remaining constant. Here is a world history of logistics--a veritable compendium--but within a detailed and comprehensive but concise text. Factors affecting logistics include, for example, climate, geography, food supplies, welfare of troops, payment, transport, communications, terrain and distance, but also government policy, stability, and financial conditions. All are considered, including theoretical and practical factors of supply, from classical, ancient, early and medieval times, to modern eras of industrial warfare, especially with oil and steam, and scientific and technical advances-- even cyber warfare and smart weapons.
