The era of modern warfare introduced in World War II presented the Allied Powers with one of the more complicated logistical challenges of the century: how to develop an extensive support network that could supply and maintain a vast military force comprised of multiple services and many different nations thousands of miles away from their home ports. The need to keep tanks rolling, airplanes flying, and food and aid in continuous supply was paramount to defeating the Nazi regime. In this extensively researched book, David Dworak takes readers behind the scenes and breaks down the nuances of strategic operations for each of the great Mediterranean military campaigns between 1942 and the conclusion of World War II on May 8, 1945. Dworak gives readers a glimpse behind the curtain, to show how the vast administrative bureaucracy developed by the Allies waged a literal war of matriel that gave them a distinct, strategic advantage over the Axis powers. From North Africa to Southern France, their continued efforts and innovation developed the framework that helped create and maintain the theater of war and, ultimately, paved the path to victory.

Preface
A Look behind the Curtain

Imagine that the modern battlefield is like a great stage stretching across the landscape in some remote part of the world. On this stage we see the actors: generals devising strategy and plans; brigades and divisions maneuvering to engage the enemy; fleets of gray-hulled ships launching volleys of shells. In the sky, aircraft compete to gain an advantage over the adversary or attack strategic and tactical targets on the ground. Histories, movies, and documentaries help re-create these events, but they often tell only part of the story. How did the combatants arrive on the battlefield, far from home? How did they get the fuel, munitions, food, repair parts, clothing, water, and equipment needed to engage in great-power conflict? Who built the airfields and cleared the ports, and how did they do it? What were the support structures and doctrine that ensured the right things were in the right place at the right time? How did the combatants synchronize support requirements with available resources? In short, we see the actors in front of us, but what about the story of everything that happened to make the production possible? Like a play, what were the decisions, actions, challenges, and events that took place behind the curtain, setting the foundation for success?
