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. He contends that the pursuit of global disarmament
agreement has to be complemented by the maintenance of research and
development centres, anti-chemical defences and a credible
deterrent.;Edward Spiers has also written " Haldane: An Army
Reformer", "Army And Society 1815-1914", "Radical General: Sir
George de Lacy Evans" and "Chemical Warfare".
