Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publié pour la première fois en 1983, La Guerre chimique et biologique, entièrement revu et mis à jour pour la présente édition, fit sensation : c'était le premier livre en France à évoquer très précisément la menace d'attentats terroristes à l'arme biologique ou bactériologique, tel celui au gaz sarin dans le métro de Tokyo en 1995. Depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 et la psychose de l'anthrax qui a suivi, cette menace a pris une nouvelle dimension. Sans doute faut-il encore craindre des attentats à la bombe ou des assassinats de leaders politiques, mais ce que veulent les ennemis déclarés de la paix, ce sont des actions d'éclat faisant des milliers de victimes. L'arme chimique ou biologique, officiellement bannie des champs de batailles par deux conventions internationales, sont invisibles, incolores, sournoises. Quelles sont ces armes ? Quelle est leur histoire ? Qui les fabrique, les perfectionne, qui les vend et qui les achète ? Comment se prémunir contre elles et comment estimer leur puissance ? Enfin, peut-on imaginer une guerre mondiale bactériologique ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auquel ce livre répond de façon précise et documentée.

Book excerpt: "L'histoire de l'arme chimique au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale est paradoxale. Si l'on associe immanquablement les gaz à l'évocation de ce conflit, on constate que l'on sait peu de choses sur cette guerre dans la guerre . On ne manque jamais de souligner les souffrances inouïes provoquées par les gaz. Pourtant, les pertes françaises causées par les gaz en 1916 ne représentent que 0,2 % des pertes totales. Au-delà de l'image d'Épinal, il semble légitime de s'interroger sur la réalité militaire de ces armes utilisées sur les champs de bataille de la Grande Guerre. A l'évidence, l'apparition de l'arme chimique en 1914-1918 ne peut être considérée comme une simple innovation technique. Peut-on pour autant en conclure que son utilisation marque l'avènement de la guerre totale? Les armes chimiques ont-elles été ainsi les premières armes conçues non pas pour conquérir le territoire ennemi, mais pour anéantir physiquement l'adversaire? Ainsi, le propos de ce catalogue d'exposition est de tenter de mettre en lumière l'impact de l'arme chimique sur le déroulement des hostilités tant du point de vue humain pendant et après guerre, que scientifique et industriel, militaire et stratégique."

Download or read book Chemical Weaponry written by Edward M. Spiers and published by Springer. This book was released on 1989-05-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Chemical Warfare written by Fredric Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of 9/11, the potential terror of weapons of mass destruction--from nuclear, biological, and chemical to dirty bombs--preoccupies national security experts. In Chemical Warfare, Frederic J. Brown, presents a cogent, innovative framework for understanding the historical forces that have restrained the use of WMD and how they continue to have relevance today. Analyzing both world wars, he argues that the restraints on use were complex and often unpredictable and ranged from the political to the technological. The author offers a detailed examination of American chemical warfare policy as it was shaped by industry and public sentiment, as well as national and military leaders. The organization of the book into three parts reflects the importance of battlefield experiences during the First World War and of international political restraints as they evolved during the interwar years and culminated in ""no first use"" policies by major powers in World War II. Part I examines the use of chemical weapons in World War I as it influenced subsequent national policy decisions. Part II focuses on the evolution of political, military, economic, and psychological restraints from 1919 to 1939. Part III discusses World War II during two critical periods: 1939 to early 1942, when the environment of the war was being established largely without American influence; and during 1945, when the United States faced no credible threat of retaliation to deter its strategic and battlefield use of chemical weapons. Written at the height of controversy about the U.S. use of chemicals in Vietnam, Chemical Warfare offers a valuable historical perspective, as relevant now in its analysis of chemical and also nuclear policy as it was when first published.

This book was released on 1983-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage s’adresse aussi bien aux spécialistes qu’à tous ceux qui souhaitent avoir une connaissance précise d’un dossier important. Les armes biologiques et chimiques retiennent chaque jour davantage l’attention. Interdites par les lois humanitaires de la guerre, un État ne saurait y recourir sans commettre une grave violation d’une règle fondamentale et sans risquer de s’exposer à une légitime réprobation internationale. La règle d’interdiction d’emploi des armes biologiques et chimiques n’a cessé de susciter des débats, souvent vifs. Comment le bannissement de telles armes est-il né ? De quelle façon les États se sont-ils accordés sur la portée de cette prohibition ? L’ouvrage apporte non seulement une réponse précise à ces questions mais encore nous offre-t-il un examen détaillé du respect de l’interdiction. Ces motifs d’inquiétude, en effet, ne manquent pas : conflit italo-éthiopien, guerre de Corée, guerre civile au Yémen, luttes de libération dans les territoires coloniaux, Asie du Sud-Est, Afghanistan...

Book excerpt: This book tells the novel true stories concerning highly talented civilian scientists in some unusual places and situations during World War II. The purpose of this book is to present an almost forgotten history of secret war research in universities. The focus is on the narrow subject of chemical warfare research and on a small number of individuals, but with in-depth study of these individuals and what they did. Mostly graduate students and young instructors, they were working under the direction of professors at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of California (Berkeley). Action took place in California, Florida and the jungles of Panama. This history touches on the work of four senior Nobel Prize winners and eight junior, future Nobel Prize winners at Caltech and Berkeley.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ten million `poison gas' shells, mortar bombs, etc., lie hidden in Europe, many of them relics from World War I. Some were fired and failed to detonate, others were abandoned in old ammunition dumps. Most retain their load of chemical warfare (CW) agents. They are turned up daily in the course of farming and construction. Many European nations have permanent departments concerned with their collection and destruction. Old munitions, when discovered, are usually heavily corroded and difficult to identify. Is it a CW munition? Or an explosive? If CW, what agent does it contain? Once identified, one has to select a destruction method. Some of the methods that have been proposed are less than perfect, and are often complicated by the presence of extraneous chemicals, either mixed with the CW agents during manufacture or formed over decades in the ground. Of particular interest are the insiders' reports on the German CW programmes of both World Wars, and the current status of Russian chemical armaments.

Download or read book War of Nerves written by Jonathan Tucker and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-02-13 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important and revelatory book, Jonathan Tucker, a leading expert on chemical and biological weapons, chronicles the lethal history of chemical warfare from World War I to the present. At the turn of the twentieth century, the rise of synthetic chemistry made the large-scale use of toxic chemicals on the battlefield both feasible and cheap. Tucker explores the long debate over the military utility and morality of chemical warfare, from the first chlorine gas attack at Ypres in 1915 to Hitler’s reluctance to use nerve agents (he believed, incorrectly, that the U.S. could retaliate in kind) to Saddam Hussein’s gassing of his own people, and concludes with the emergent threat of chemical terrorism. Moving beyond history to the twenty-first century, War of Nerves makes clear that we are at a crossroads that could lead either to the further spread of these weapons or to their ultimate abolition.
