Logistics, logistics, logistics the bane of battle. If you do not have the stuff, you cannot do the job. The US enters WW2 virtually unprepared. The challenge is to hold things together until we can create sufficient military might and the infrastructure to supply it. Inept leadership abounds but President Roosevelt finds two hard rocks to build on in Ernie King and George Marshall. The US Navy suffers its greatest defeat ever at Savo Island and the marines invade Guadalcanal on a shoestring. Lots of work ahead for the Science Team. This series continues to add a different and interesting perspective to old history. ( )
