Okay, since now I am interested in military logistics, I
decided to look it up myself:
Two cracking books on the subject, if you're interested:
"Supplying War" by Martin van Creveld, and "Lifeblood of War" by
Julian Thompson.
IMO the best book for learning about 'real world' military
logistics is the chapter on the subject in the book: 'How To Make
War' by James Dunnigan.
Okay, that I've heard of.

the naval classic for the front end of fleet logistics is
Beans Bullets and Black oil

The back end is
shipbuilding and similar procurement

Okay, another idea. You know, I really *do* look these things up when you
guys pique my interest. But, I'm also overbooking myself with *other*
projects and stuff to read ...%)
And, btw, I just went to amazon.com to look at these books.
Interestingly, customers that bought Colin's suggested "How To Make War"
also bought such selections as: "Dictionary of Modern War" by Edward
Luttwak, "How To Stop a War" by Dunnigan, "War: Ends and Means" by Angelo
Codevilla.
"Beans Bullets and Black Oil" seems to be out of print or out of stock.
