Nazi Germany developed the first military-grade nerve agents and massive industry for their manufacture - yet, strangely, the Third Reich never used them. At the end of the Second World War, the Allies were stunned to discover this advanced and extensive program. The Soviets and Western powers embarked on a new arms race, amassing huge chemical arsenals. From their Nazi invention to the 2018 Novichok attack in Britain, Dan Kaszeta uncovers nerve agents' gradual spread across the world, despite international arms control efforts. They've been deployed in the Iran-Iraq War, by terrorists in Japan, in the Syrian civil War, and by assassins in Malaysia and Salisbury - always with bitter consequences.--jacket flap. 650 0 $a Chemical warfare $x History. 650 0 $a Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous $x History. 650 7 $a Chemical warfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853231 650 7 $a Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00938661 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010513.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5881CAD8527411EC8E4D38A14AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
