This book describes the fascinating scenes of logistics warfare in nearly a century across the world through detailed historical records and a documentary approach. Logistics warfare refers to a series of actions taken by both sides of a conflict in the logistics domain to secure victory. Its fundamental goal is to weaken or disrupt the enemy's logistics support while protecting its own, ensuring material support for winning the war.

To help people understand the wonders and mysteries of logistics warfare and contemplate its future in the 21st century, we have compiled extensive historical materials from both domestic and international sources, employing a documentary approach to vividly depict the exciting scenes of logistics warfare over the nearly nine decades from World War II to the Gulf War.
