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. 606 $aChemical warfare$xHistory 606 $aMilitary art and science 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChemical warfare$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary art and science. 676 $a358/.34/09 700 $aColeman$b Kim$f1953-$0986741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449937503321 996 $aA history of chemical warfare$92255172 997 $aUNINA
