Content:
In 'A War of Logistics', the author argues that the First Indochina War was a war of logistics in which strategic and operational plans and their outcome depended substantially on the effectiveness of the logistical organization and preparations of each side. The opposing sides brought very different logistical strengths and weaknesses in the conflict. The French employed the latest military technology, including aerial resupply, but the Viet Minh relied on simpler, proven methods, including the extensive use of human porters. In the end, the Viet Minh system proved more successful, being better adapted to the climate and terrain of Indochina.
