Weather and Warfare dramatically retraces the meteorological forces during battlefield engagements that doomed or preserved civilizations. In 1588 more than half of the Spanish Armada, coming around northern Britain, was destroyed by storms in retreat back to Spain. Napoleon's attack on Russia was quit cold by winter weather, as was Hitler's siege of Leningrad. In WWI, it was all peaceful on the western front during mud season. The wonder at Dunkirk occurred under cover of heavy fog, japan attack on Pearl Harbor was launched under cover of Pacific storms and the D-day invasion of Normandy was launched based on the most critical weather forecast in history.
