Richard M. Price is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia. He is coeditor of The United Nations and Global Security.
A valuable book for those wishing to be informed on various
chemical weapons and the use of non lethal weapons to fight future
insurgencies.
*The Journal of the United Service Institution of India*
An interesting and insightful look into the murky world of morality
in modern warfare.... An excellent book... clear in its focus,
effectively presented, and persuasive in its arguments. It should
most assuredly find its way onto the shelf of anyone seriously
interested in the historical, moral, or pragmatic repercussions of
weapons of mass destruction.
*Journal of International Studies*
Price persuasively confirms that chemical weapons have militarily
useful capabilities.... Price's thorough scholarship shows how
chemical weapons have become a metaphor for intolerably offensive
extensions of violent capabilities; the efforts to control them
have become a metaphor for the potential ascendancy of law over
those capabilities. It is a unique historical lesson, with
potentially optimistic ramifications.
