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. 606 $aChemical warfare 606 $aChemical warfare 606 $aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous - War use 606 $aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous -- War use 606 $aRiot control agents 606 $aRiot control agents 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975 - Chemical warfare 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Chemical warfare 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xChemical warfare 606 $aChemical warfare$xWar use 606 $aRiot control agents 606 $aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous 606 $aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aSoutheast Asia$2HILCC 615 4$aChemical warfare. 615 4$aChemical warfare. 615 4$aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous - War use. 615 4$aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous -- War use. 615 4$aRiot control agents. 615 4$aRiot control agents. 615 4$aVietnam War, 1961-1975 - Chemical warfare. 615 4$aVietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Chemical warfare. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xChemical warfare 615 0$aChemical warfare$xWar use 615 0$aRiot control agents 615 0$aGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aSoutheast Asia 676 $a959.70438 700 $aEllison$b D.
