Chemicals in War: A Treatise on Chemical Warfare

There are chapters on the Protection of the Civilian Population and the International Situation by George B. Fisher, Major, Chemical Warfare Service, United States Army. There are a couple of relevant newspaper clippings in the book. There is also present, stuck in the inside front cover of the book, a letter from the author to the Director of the Department of Metabolism at the Montreal General Hospital, dated 19th April 1940, concerning a point dealt with in the book. This is an impressive technical textbook which in its time was apparently regarded as a leading text. There are over 700 pages, with many diagrams. As such it must be a key book for this category in the Collection.
