A Strange and Formidable Weapon

Examines the varied ways different sectors of British society viewed chemical warfare, from the industrialist who promoted their toxic weapons while maintaining private control of production, to the politicians who used gas while balancing the need for victory with the risk of developing a reputation for barbarity. Although most Britons considered gas a vile weapon and a symptom of the enemy's inhumanity, many eventually condoned it use.
