Villainous Compounds: Chemical Weapons and the American Civil War
Guy R. Hasegawa
Most studies of modern chemical warfare begin with World War I. However, as Guy R. Hasegawa reveals in this fascinating study, numerous chemical agents were proposed during the Civil War era. As combat commenced, Hasegawa shows, a few forward thinking chemists recognised the advantages of weaponizing the noxious, sometimes deadly aspects of certain chemical concoctions.
