Description:For major historical battles the commander of the victorious force received the glory for victory. Yet, from the beginning of recorded conflict one can read about the many occasions on which the weather influenced the outcome of battles. Too often the historians who recorded these events did not mention the weather or give appropriate emphasis to the contribution which the weather made to the results of these contests. Even more important than the weather is the manner in which the commanders of opposing forces responded or did not respond to changing, unexpected, or severe weather conditions. This book gives an account of twenty battles or campaigns in which the weather played a significant role in the outcome. Far more intriguing is the belief and fear by certain people that human beings can change the weather by "scientific" manipulation and thereby gain control of international events. A chapter deals with these alleged attempts to usurp God's control of the weather.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
