Book excerpt: "In this first contribution to the 1981 series of the National Security Affairs Issue Papers, we are able to share a rare, "over-the-shoulder" view of the 1944 Allied invasion of Europe. Although focusing on an historical episode, Colonel Harld Mack (USA, Retired) stimulates us to think about current applications of logistical planning principles. .. The author reminds us that some of the national security problems confronting the United States today are the direct result of our failure to secure an earlier victory in Europe, before Russian forces reached Germany and Czechoslovakia. In retrospect, the loss of a few months changed the face of Europe." -- page v.
