The First World War is examined in detail since it remains the most significant experience of the chemical threat, but the Second World War, and post-war conflicts are also evaluated. Additionally, protocols attempting to control the proliferation and use of chemical weapons are assessed. Finally, the book examines the threat (real and imagined) from a chemical warfare attack today by rationally assessing to what extent terrorist groups around the world are capable of making and using such weapons.Chemical warfareHistoryMilitary art and scienceElectronic books.Chemical warfareHistory.Military art and science.358/.34/09Coleman Kim1953-986741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449937503321A history of chemical warfare2255172UNINA
