Engines for empire: The Victorian Army and Its Use of Railways
ISBN: 9780719086151 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Chemical Weaponry: A Continuing Challenge
ISBN: 9780333413616 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Chemical weapons are still a viable military option. This book assesses their appeal by examining how the agents, munitions and protective equipment of chemical warfare have evolved since 1915; how technological innovations and refinements in weaponry have altered tactical assumptions; and how these weapons have been employed in conflicts from the First World War to the Gulf War. The author argues that the weapon technology has proved inherently dynamic, that a new generation of biochemical agents may soon be available, and that arms control may not be able to curb these developments.

Chemical Warfare
ISBN: 9780333346594 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Ever since its employment in the First World War, chemical warfare has always aroused controversy. Governments have responded by pursuing the policies of disarmament and deterrence in the hope of avoiding its recurrence. However, despite the signing of the Geneva Protocol in 1925 which banned the use of poison gas, chemical weapons have been used in subsequent conflicts and most recently in the Gulf War between Iraq and Iran. In this work the policies of disarmament and deterrence will be reassessed within a broad historical and strategic context. It will be argued that poison gas could still...
