Great read for military history buffsBought this for my father in law who spent 20 years in the Army and he absolutly loved it. He said it gave a really honest look at how logistics actually worked during his era. We both ended up reading it and talking about it over dinner which never happens lol. Shipping was super fast too, got here in like 2 days which I wasnt expecting.
