{"product_id":"toxic-dan-kaszeta-9780197578094","title":"Toxic: A History of Nerve Agents, from Nazi Germany to Putin's Russia","description":"Nerve agents are the world's deadliest means of chemical warfare. Nazi Germany developed the first military-grade nerve agents and massive industry for their manufacture--yet, strangely, the Third Reich never used them. At the end of the Second World War, the Allies were stunned to discover this advanced and extensive programme. The Soviets and Western powers embarked on a new arms race, amassing huge chemical arsenals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom their Nazi invention to the 2018 Novichok attack in Britain, Dan Kaszeta uncovers nerve agents' gradual spread across the world, despite international arms control efforts. They've been deployed in the Iran-Iraq War, by terrorists in Japan, in the Syrian Civil War, and by assassins in Malaysia and Salisbury--always with bitter consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eToxic \u003c\/em\u003erecounts the grisly history of these weapons of mass destruction: a deadly suite of invisible, odourless killers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Kaszeta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197578098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197578094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 1.50d","brand":"Dan Kaszeta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045441401087,"sku":"9780197578094","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_481b1ad6-769c-4633-8acb-f2843e27a67d.jpg?v=1684978769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/toxic-dan-kaszeta-9780197578094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
