Books on Logistics?


Inspired by the recent thread about Amazon solving its supply chain shortage, I've thought about how important it is to manage logistics.

Wether you're a CEO of a huge company or a general leading an army, you need to be super organized and efficient in order to succeed.

I was wondering if there are any books that I can read to have a deeper understanding of the work involved in logistics, or how - if you're Bezos/Musk/Napoleon - can you manage to be so organized to lead so many people in order to achieve a common goal?

Here are a few:

- Sun Tzu The Art of War

- Stephen Ambrose D-Day: June 6, 1944

- Fred Brooks The Mythical Man Month

- Kim, Behr, & Spafford The Phoenix Project

- Gene Kranz Failure is not an Option

- Acemoglu & Robinson Why Nations Fail

Some astute HN'ers may note not all of these directly relate to supply chains and logistics: but they all touch on aspects of logistics - especially on underlying assumptions that different societal norms will have on how you view the field
