  Compiled by the senior logistics officer for General Sir Peter de Billiere in the Gulf War, this book recounts the enormous logistic effort in support of the British Army during the war. Described as the biggest and most successful logistic operation since World War II, the book follows events in the Gulf, from deployment until the return of equipment following the successful land battle to free Kuwait. It concentrates on the back-up operation from tank transporting to field catering, seeking to emphasize the key role played by logistics in operations and the way in which it can influence the commanders plan at the operational and tactical level.
