A vivid detail of the British Army's WW I chemical tactics .

This is an amazingly missing aspect of the British and their gas techniques in the War to End All Wars. Mr. Palazzo has researched British tactics after the German War Machine instituted gas as a offensive force. John Keegan and Martin Gilbert's stirring accounts of the First World War seem to have glossed over a complete aspect of trench warfare. After the second Ypres when French troops or any troops for that matter encounter gas as a weapon. General Haig and other high ranking British military strategist, initiated and refined British chemical war techniques and technologies. This entire history for some reason has been missing in military (WWI) books and Albert Palazzo, tells us of its importance better than anyone. This fine book puts it up there with the TANK and BARBED WIRE.
