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.

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...
