Logistics in the Falklands War

It is now 35-years since Britain fought the Falklands War, but it is only now that an interest is being shown in that conflict.

In the aftermath of the war itself there was an outpouring of books and there has always been an interest but it is only now that we are seeing books such as this which have any depth. Armies try to fight wars with a short logistics route, but the Falklands was an exception in modern warfare, with a supply line stretching thousands of miles across an ocean. The author examines the difficulties in this ‘case study’ and the weight of supplies and the handling of this bulk can only be admired. Without the supplies, the troops simply could not have fought, been fed or casualties evacuated. If you think you have explored the Falklands War, then read this to complete the perspective and you will be amazed.
