Résumé ou extrait

• Présentation de l'éditeur : "Feeding Victory examines the impact of technological change on military logistics across time and over critical battlefronts. Jobie Turner explores how the relationship between technology, logistics, and warfare has changed from the age of sail to the invention of nuclear power, and answers questions such as: How have specific technological innovations from the industrial age to the information age-the railroad, the machine gun, artillery, the airplane, the nuclear weapon, the computer, and many more-altered the logistics equation ? Furthermore, to the extent that technological innovations have changed the fundamentals of effective logistics, what impact has the advancement of logistics had on geopolitical dynamics and combat power throughout the ages? Turner presents five case studies: 1) The campaign for Lake George from 1755-1759 during the Seven Years' War in North America; 2) The Western Front in 1917, during the First World War; 3) The Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942 during the Second World War; 4) The Battle of Stalingrad in 1942-43 during the Second World War; and 5) The Battle of Khe Sanh in 1968, during the Vietnam War. Why these operational campaigns? In each of these, the logistics of the belligerents were at their limit because of geography or the vast material needs of war. With such limits, the case studies give a good accounting of the logistics for each era and the inflection points between success and failure."
