It's the only book I have that deals with military history from a purely logistical perspective. I learned a lot, but don't know if that is because I didn't know much about the subject to begin with. (Most of my classes deal with engineering logistics.) He is thorough in his research, and uses a wide variety of sources. I like that. I enjoyed his writing style as well. I bought the book, initially, because it was highly recommended to me. It was published in 1977, and has been reprinted 19 times since. I would read his other work on the strength of this one.

Is the one you're looking at a new publication?

Edit: I just looked at the publication info: 1991.
