Pegasus Problems Of Transportation

J. F. C. Fuller, one of the most original military thinkers of the twentieth century, challenges the listener to rethink the very foundations of movement, power, and modern warfare in “Pegasus: Problems of Transportation”. This book captures Fuller at his most visionary, examining how mobility — not merely weapons — determines the fate of armies and nations.

Drawing on history, strategy, and emerging technology, Fuller explores the transformation of transportation from animal power to mechanized force. He reveals how roads, railways, supply lines, and speed shape strategy long before a battle is fought. Each insight feels strikingly modern, showing how logistical intelligence often outweighs brute strength.

The hook of this book lies in its clarity and foresight. Fuller does not write for specialists alone; he speaks to anyone fascinated by how ideas change history. His analysis uncovers the hidden mechanics behind military success and failure, making listeners aware that wars are won as much by movement and planning as by courage on the battlefield.

For students of military history, strategy, and technological change, this book is both provocative and illuminating. It rewards careful listening with a deeper understanding of how transportation shapes power — a lesson that extends far beyond warfare into the structure of modern civilization itself.
