The short, readable account follows the US program as it progressed from a focus on the humanitarian aspects of non-lethal weapons to their use as a means of augmenting and enhancing the lethality of traditional munitions. It also presents the efforts of the North Vietnamese to both counter US chemical operations and to develop a chemical capability of their own.Chemical warfareChemical warfareGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous - War useGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous -- War useRiot control agentsRiot control agentsVietnam War, 1961-1975 - Chemical warfareVietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Chemical warfareVietnam War, 1961-1975Chemical warfareChemical warfareWar useRiot control agentsGases, Asphyxiating and poisonousRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCSoutheast AsiaHILCCElectronic books.Chemical warfare.Chemical warfare.Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous - War use.Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous -- War use.Riot control agents.Riot control agents.Vietnam War, 1961-1975 - Chemical warfare.Vietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Chemical warfare.Vietnam War, 1961-1975Chemical warfareChemical warfareWar useRiot control agentsGases, Asphyxiating and poisonousRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHistory & ArchaeologySoutheast Asia959.70438Ellison D.
