Best books to learn Logistics management, in order

Logistics only makes sense once you see the whole chain, so the reading order moves from network to node. Start with how goods, information, and money flow across a supply chain, then the transportation, warehousing, and inventory decisions that shape cost and speed, then the optimization and technology that squeeze slack out of the system. Reading the end-to-end picture before any single link keeps you from optimizing a warehouse while the network bleeds.
