Title: Dew of Death: The Story of Lewisite
Product review: Having spent twenty eight years of my life in the Army I found myself thust into the arena of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) Warfare. During my years of service I read everything I could get my hands on about NBC warfare. I don't know how I missed this book, but was eager to read it as Lewisite is still one of the chemical agents current forces are taught to protect against. Dew of Death follows the history of the creation of Lewisite, attributed to Winford Lee Lewis and others during the closing days of World War One. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the learning the dangers associated with chemical warfare. It tends to be a bit technical at times, so the unknowledgeable might find it a bit tedious, but those in the know will be shocked at how this weapon came to be and how it remains a deadly substance in the 21st century.
