In addition to a brilliant read, the artwork of Richard Hook and the selection of period photos makes this a book that you should really consider adding to your collection." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com
"A specific, important title military collections will relish." -California Bookwatch (July 2007)
"The author... has presented his text in a very readable and lively style... The photographic content of the book is really very good, as the images show in some detail the various masks worn by protagonists and how they evolved... Those interested in modeling figures of the Great War will find this book very useful, while those who are more ambitious and wish to construct a full-scale diorama will find quite a bit of inspiration within these covers. Recommended." -Frank De Sisto, missing-lynx.com
Osprey's study of gas warfare tactics that were employed during World War I (1914-1918). Battlefield Gas was first employed in April 1915 at the village of Langemarck near Ypres. At 1700 hours the Germans released a five mile-wide cloud of 168 tons of chlorine gas from 520 cylinders, causing panic and death in the French and Algerian trenches. Despite initial widespread condemnation and disgust, its use rapidly spread with all the armies entering into the race to produce gases, new ways to use them, and protective measures including masks and warning systems.
For the first time in detail, this book charts the development of gas as a battlefield weapon and the steps taken to counter it. Delivery methods, including the use of artillery, the consequences of changing wind direction, and infantry advancing into an area just gassed, are all covered alongside key milestones in its introduction and usage.
With an abundant array of artwork and photographs illustrating the gas masks, insignia, and protective clothing of the protagonists, this book conveys the horror of the gas attack and reveals the practical challenges for soldiers struggling to cope with this new form of warfare.
Conveying the reality behind the iconic Sargent painting of a column of blindfolded gas casualties, it is a fascinating survey of one of the darkest facets of 20th century warfare.
