The lifeblood of war: Logistics in armed conflict

Thompson had written this book right after the end of the Falklands War of 1982. In this conflict, he commanded an infantry brigade.

Nonetheless, he has done a sterling work in putting together a book of this magnitude. Magnitude because he has delved deeply into researching about several conflicts and that brought out the essence of his thesis. I have shared my opinion with several officers at BDF on the book and I have always stated that this is a book for every officer to read.
