No Place to Run shows that this chemical plague was a serious threat even after gas masks were introduced." "Tim Cook uses diaries, letters, reminiscences, published memoirs, and the official archival record to illustrate vividly the grim reality of gas warfare for the average trench soldier. In response, the Canadian Corps had to develop a disciplined anti-gas doctrine, a process that Cook describes in full." "No Place to Run provides a challenging re-examination of the function of gas warfare in the First World War, including not only its important role in delivering victory in the campaigns of 1918 but also its postwar legacy."--JacketGases, Asphyxiating and poisonousWar useWorld War, 1914-1918Chemical warfareWorld War, 1914-1918Personal narratives, CanadianGases, Asphyxiating and poisonousWar use.World War, 1914-1918Chemical warfare.World War, 1914-1918358/.34/09409041Cook Tim1971-1598505MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809222803321No place to run3985376UNINA
