Book Description
Excerpt from The Chemical Warfare Service: Chemicals in Combat This is the third and final volume of the Chemical Warfare Service subseries of The Technical Services in the series United States Army In World War II. Concluding the chemical warfare story that was begun in Organizing for War and was continued in From Laboratory to Field, Chemicals in Combat records in meaningful detail the ultimate and most rigorous test of all things military: performance in battle. Entry of the United States into World War II found the nation's Armed Forces, like those of its principal allies and enemies, mindful of the possibility of gas warfare. The gas attacks of World War I did not recur, but the Chemical Warfare Service was in the position of being ready for a type of war that did not happen. Thus the CWS, the only technical service having combat troops armed with weapons it had specifically provided for itself, was forced to show its flexibility. The Service sought to fulfill its supporting role with smoke, flame, and incendiaries; with 4.2-inch mortars and flame throwers; and, having no gas to contend with, its decontamination companies provided front-line troops with the means for simple physical cleanliness. Chemicals in Combat recounts the administrative, logistical, and tactical problems arising from the Service's dual responsibility, and highlights the flexibility and ingenuity demanded of chemical troops in World War II. These are, of course, qualities that military men have and will always find essential. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chemical Warfare Shortly after the signing of the Armistice, it was realized that the story of Chemical Warfare should be written, partly because of its historical value, and partly because of the future needs of a textbook covering the fundamental facts of the Service for the Army, the Reserve Officer, the National Guard, and even the Civilian Chemist. The present work was undertaken by both authors as a labor of patriotism and because of their interest in the Service. The two years which have elapsed since the initial discussion of the outlines of the book have thoroughly convinced us of the need of such a work. The Engineers, the Medical Department, and most of the other branches of the Army have their recognized textbooks and manuals. There has been no way, however, by which the uninformed can check the accuracy of statements regarding Chemical Warfare. The present volume will serve, in a measure, to fill this gap. That it does not do so more completely is due in part to the fact that secrecy must still be maintained about some of the facts and some of the new discoveries which are the property of the Service. Those familiar with the work of the Chemical Warfare Service will discover, though, that the follow ing pages contain many statements which were zealously guarded secrets two years ago. This enlarged program of publicity on the part of the Chief of the Service is being justified every day by the ever-increasing interest in this branch of warfare. Where five men were discussing Chemical Warfare two years ago, fifty men are talking about the work and the possibilities of the Service to-day. It is hoped that the facts here presented may further increase the interest in Chemical Warfare, for there is no question but that it must be recognized as a permanent and a very vital branch of the Army of every country. Reasons for this will be found scattered through the pages of this book. It should be explained that this is in no sense a complete historical sketch of the development and personnel of the Chem ical Warfare Service. At least two more volumes are needed, one on the Manufacture of Poisonous Gases and one on the Tactics of Chemical Warfare. We have purposely refrained from an attempt to give credit to individuals for the accomplish ments of the various Divisions of the Service, because such an attempt would have made the book too voluminous, and would have defeated the primary purpose, namely, that it should pre sent the information in as concise manner as possible. The published and unpublished materials of the files of all the Divisions have been freely drawn upon in writing the various chapters, and many Old C. W. S. Men will undoubtedly recog nize whole sentences which they wrote under the stress of the laboratory or plant battle front. May these few lines be an acknowledgment of their contributions. Those who desire to consult the literature of Chemical Warfare will find a fairly complete bibliography (to about the middle of 1919) in Special Libraries for November, 1919.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Reserves of the Chemical Warfare Service, Vol. 16 They are our representatives, and it is our duty fairly but fearlessly to judge their acts. The Chemical Warfare Service was not born at home. The natural home of the Chemical Warfare Service is the War Department; but after the battle of Ypres, when the British infantry suffered such fearful destruction from the waves of chlorine gas, loosed unexpectedly by the Germans, when it was seen that gas was to play an important part in the war, the men who first woke up to the importance of this new form of warfare were not in the War Department. The chemists in the Bureau of Mines, backed by Dr. Manning, the Director, began experimental work. Later began the erection of different plants under various divisions of the government, and finally Secretary Baker, in order to bring coordination into the work, wisely recommended to the President that all these divisions be combined into one organization: - the Chemical Warfare Service. So in July 1919 the consolidation of all these different parts took place, under the authority given in the Overman Act. When the full history of this war is written, I think one of the outstanding chapters is going to concern the remarkable results obtained in research at American University Experiment Station, and at Edgewood Arsenal in the building of that wonderful plant. It was not the fault of the Chemical Warfare Service that the gas made at Edgewood Arsenal was not fired at the enemy in American shells. Tons of gas in bulk were shipped to the allies. Then the plants lay idle for months, waiting only for shells in which to load the gas. And in this connection I here pay tribute to a class of men who have never received public recognition of the hazardous service they performed for their country. I refer to the chemists who manufactured these gases, inexperienced as to the dangers attending the processes while learning the methods; men who were gassed, men who were killed, not in the thrill of battle, not under the glory of a charge, but back here in the steady grind of preparing the material for the men at the front. They went into hospitals and they went to the grave, serving their country nobly and loyally. Now another interesting historical point. The War Department was slow in making use of the chemists' services, and when the armistice came the Chemical Warfare Service was immediately and almost completely demobilized. That was one of the quickest operations in the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Riddle of the Rhine: Chemical Strategy in Peace and War A recent visit to America revealed the consider able publicity and public interest surrounding chemical warfare, strengthening my conviction that the facts, now noised abroad, should be presented in their proper setting.

Book Description
Excerpt from Gas Warfare Concentration, surprise in tactics, and the use of unexpected new materials are three most important things in Gas Warfare. With the first gas attack, the whole course of the war with Germany changed. This attack was made against men who were en tirely unprepared and absolutely unprotected, and it was no exaggeration when the Germans claimed that of our men were killed and as many taken prisoners. Never had such a battlefield been seen in warfare, ancient or modern. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
