5.0 out of 5 stars Best Chemical Warfare book for health care profs, November 5, 2001

By	J. Peterson "jwpete" (NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This, in my view , is the best book on the subject. It combines extensive discussion of the history of these agents, reviews of the physics of agent dispersal, and extensive discussion of both basic pharmacology and pricipals of treatment.
Any physician involved in preparation for these agents should have this book. Please note, this is not a basic or public interest book, but a serious scientific review.
