Excellent book.

"Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics". This book shows in detail why this is true but at the same time, avoids being boring or pedantic. Belton Cooper remains completely interesting throughout the book. Every page brings a new revelation, even for someone who's been reading history all my life.

I have an Infantry background. This book brought the maintenance war to life like nothing else I've ever read. Great read!
