Description

Soldiers watched the yellow cloud roll toward them, and no order could undo what came next. The first gas cloud drifted across a French field in 1915, and the world understood that war had changed its nature forever. This book traces the strange and terrible journey of chemical weapons across three millennia-from the smoke of Greek fires to the nerve agents of modern arsenals. It examines how states, scientists, and soldiers collaborated to transform poison into a tool of policy, and how that transformation reshaped the relationship between human bodies and the machinery of war. An entrepreneur who scaled startups after early failures, offering self-help for resilience, business tactics on customer retention, and histories of entrepreneurial pivots during economic booms.
