Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the wake of the anthrax letters following the attacks on the World Trade Center, Americans have begun to grapple with two difficult truths: that there is no terrorist threat more horrifying -- and less understood -- than germ warfare, and that it would take very little to mount a devastating attack on American soil.

ISBN: 9780700611133 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) They were sometimes the butt of jokes, the "comical chemical corporals." Officially they were the British Special Brigade, sent to retaliate against German chemical warfare, selected, as one of their members said, almost willy-nilly. "They wanted chemists," a young recruit later recalled, ." . . so I looked up the formula for water and told them it was H2O and I was in." Although the Brigade itself has received little attention since its disbandment following the war, chemical warfare in World War I has been mythologized, sentimentalized, and vilified. Its image has been distorted by...

Preventive Attack and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Comparative Historical Analysis
ISBN: 9780804750264 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The controversial Bush doctrine of preemptive war is often described as revolutionary. In fact, as this comparative study of rivalries involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD) shows, notions of preventive and preemptive war have long been closely tied to such weapons. In this study, a wealth of historical data is analyzed to address the fundamental question that WMD proliferation raises for U.S. defense policy: will the projection of U.S. power be deterred by nascent WMD arsenals in the hands of rogue states? This wide-ranging comparison yields the conclusion that small WMD arsenals do not...
