At 1700 hours, the Germans released a five mile-wide cloud of 168 tons of chlorine gas from 520 cylinders, causing panic and death in the French and Algerian trenches. Despite initial widespread condemnation and disgust, its use rapidly spread with all the armies entering into the race to produce gases, new ways to use them, and protective measures including masks and warning systems. For the first time in detail, this book charts the development of gas as a battlefield weapon and the steps taken to counter it. With an abundant array of artwork and photographs illustrating the gas masks, insignia, and protective clothing of the protagonists, this book conveys the horror of the gas attack and reveals the practicalities of how soldiers struggled to cope with the reality of this new form of warfare.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 7mmItem Weight: 240gAuthor: Simon JonesIllustrator: Richard HookContributor: Richard Hook (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Military History, HistoryBook Series: EliteRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
