I find this book to be fascinating, the very idea that people have created such horrific chemicals is sad and mind boggling. If you are looking for a book on the history of chemical weapons this is not the book. This book is more or less a recipe book, with descriptions in the front for laboratory equipment followed by instructions for each chemical substance. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Interesting topic, badly handled *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023* This book bills itself as an introductory view of chemical agents. It does indeed have introductions to the classes of chemical agents and brief descriptions of individual substances, but (with the exception of directions for manufacture) the information is extremely limited.After a reasonably good introduction to common chemicals and simple laboratory procedure, it gets to the topic at hand. Each section of the book is on a class of agents, and has a brief description of how they work and their uses. Then the common agents are covered individually. There is a little specific history and information about each, a rating of the agent on some sort of 10 point scale that isn't explained or defined in any way, an abstract of the manufacturing process, a long safety warning (which is almost identical for all the chemicals in each section), and then a detailed explanation of the synthesis process.Of the 250+ pages, maybe 50 will be comprehensible to someone without significant background in laboratory chemistry. Much of the remainder is copied again and again with only minor variation from one chemical to the next.The really concerning thing to me is how incredibly badly written it is. The author systematically uses incorrect words even in the general information sections - talking about the "fetal" dose instead of "fatal", and other mistakes that make it clear that the text was never checked over. (I marveled that you could have a "second edition" with this many errors.) The spelling and word errors even appear in the directions for synthesis and the names of the reagents used. The goal of this book seems to be mostly to provide information about the synthesis of these chemicals to the public, and it's so poorly written that it can't even really be trusted to do that.I was extremely disappointed with the whole thing. The layman won't understand most of it, the chemist can't trust it, and if (like me) you know enough to understand the technical aspects but are reading it for entertainment, you'll be more disappointed than either of the former two. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars I don't really know what I was expecting *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013* I took an explosive introduction course put on by the FBI and they referenced this book. If you are not a scientist don't waste your money. I guess it could be the greatest book ever written but it is a text book designed for a scientist, I am not so it is useless to me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16770700-a-laboratory-history-of-chemical-warfare-agents-paperback-january-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16770700-a-laboratory-history-of-chemical-warfare-agents-paperback-january-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
