The Poisonous Cloud: Chemical Warfare in the First World War
ISBN: 9780198581420 / Angielski / Twarda / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The introduction of chemical warfare during the First World War was a major event in the history of military technology.

This study, based on a previously unavailable range of archival material and statistical data, explores the military role of chemical warfare as well as its effects on people, industries and administration on...

Deadly Cultures: Biological Weapons Since 1945
ISBN: 9780674016996 / Angielski / Twarda / 479 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The threat of biological weapons has never attracted as much public attention as in the past five years. Current concerns largely relate to the threat of weapons acquisition and use by rogue states or by terrorists. But the threat has deeper roots--it has been evident for fifty years that biological agents could be used to cause mass casualties and large-scale economic damage. Yet there has been little historical analysis of such weapons over the past half-century. Deadly Cultures sets out to fill this gap by analyzing the historical developments since 1945 and addressing...
