The introduction of chemical warfare during the First World War was
a major event in the history of military technology. It not only
posed an unusual challenge to military thinking of the day, which
was largely conventional and wholly unfamiliar with science; it
also created a heated moral controversy surrounding the new weapon
that did not discriminate between soldiers and civilians. 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 both sides. The book also fully examines the
complex issues raised by this new technology, which were debated
endlessly between the wars and have led to recent agreements among
the powers to curb their use of chemical or biological warfare.
This study was planned in close cooperation with Sir Harold
Hartley, who became head of British chemical warfare in 1918.
