Logistics in the Vietnam Wars

first page. Covering both French and American involvement, it is interesting to see the contrast and preparedness with which these nations approached the war. The Vietnamese response was labour-intensive and the volume of material moved by human endeavour is truly remarkable. Packed full of facts, figures and data of all sorts, the reader will find themselves shaking their heads in disbelief at the tonnages stated and the distances covered. The figures just keep coming from the first chapter to the last page, which reveals the financial cost in adjusted figures as being an eye-watering $1.081 trillion US dollars. This book stands apart from other works on the war because of this unique approach to delivering great history.
