A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The author examines fully the military role of chemical warfare and its effects on the people, industries, and administrations on both sides; he also considers the growing moral problems it created. The launching of an entirely new weapon that did not discriminate between soldiers and civilians raised complex issues which were debated endlessly between the wars and which, in recent years, have led to agreement among the powers not to use chemical or biological warfare.

Revue de presse :

`admirably detached and scholarly study ... a work which not only makes and important contribution to the history of the First World War, but also raises more general issues about the military, scientific, political and moral problems inseparable from the introduction of new and controversial weapons.' Brian Bond Army Historical Research

`an excellent and important book which has received less attention that it deserves' English Historical Review
