Napoleon delayed his attack at Waterloo to allow the mud to dry. Had he attacked earlier, he might have defeated Wellington before Blucher arrived...In November 1942, Russian mud stopped the Germans who could not advance until the temperature dropped low enough to freeze the mud...During the Vietnam War, Project Popeye was an American attempt to lengthen the monsoon and cause delays on the Ho Chi Minh Trail...Soldiers have always known just how significant mud can be in battle, but historians have not fully recognised its importance. This book examines its specific effect upon armies and equipment, morale, health and fatigue over the centuries and on military history throughout the world. This is an informative slog through the stuff of history and the ubiquitous element's enormous effect on warfare over the centuries. It is written by a military historian who served in both the US Marine Corps and the US Army.
