Bullets, Boots and Bandages - How to Really win a War; began by looking at logistics and supply, and was quite intriguing. I only managed to make it half way live, but will be catching up with the rest of it tonight. I was fascinating to hear about the logistical chain behind Wellington's army in Spain, and the massive logistical cock-ups of the Crimea.
In fact last night was good tv in the UK for the military minded, Thanks to digital channels I was able to watch a documentary on the Zulu's on BBC Four, before Channel 5 +1 offered up the Royal Marines in Afghanistan. More or less all of these available for catchup via the net too.
I'm not an inveterate tv watcher, but last night was a good selection, for a Monday.
