The victory was the culmination of an expedition which had begun in England in 1355, and saw the successful undertaking of the so-called "grande chevauchee" - which depended on a system of purveyance and recruitment in England, in addition to an efficient supply train which accompanied the army. This book examines in detail the efficient and effective logistics that drove that success; it also shows the powerful connection between tactics and strategy on the one hand, and geography, human topography, and the need for food, water and rest, on the other. 600 00 $a Edward, $c Prince of Wales, $d 1330-1376. 650 0 $a Hundred Years' War, 1339-1453 $x Logistics. 650 0 $a Poitiers, Battle of, France, 1356. 650 0 $a Logistics $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a France $x History $y 14th century. 830 0 $a Warfare in history. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305060259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=606C535C26B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
