The First World War The Inter-War Years 1919-1939 The Second World War The Soviet Threat, Korea and Vietnam 1945-1975 The Middle East, Afghanistan, Bosnia and the Gulf Chemical Terrorism Controlling Chemical Weapons.This book provides an analysis of the development and deployment of chemical weapons from 700BC to the present day. 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 scienceChemical warfareHistory.Military art and science.358/.34/09Coleman Kim1953-1719591MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809653303321A History of Chemical Warfare4117534UNINA
