| Summary, etc. | "The history of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons is complicated. It can be disturbing, tragic, and occasionally encouraging. It is rarely amusing, although the names selected for certain weapons suggest a casualness toward the consequences of their use : Atomic Annie, Blue Peacock, Dew of Death, Fat Man, Flying Cow, Geoge, Gilda, Helen of Bikini, Hurricane, Katie, Little Boy, Lulu, Mike, Red Beard, Sewer Pipe, and Squirt. The use of biological and chemical weapons has produced mixed results in terms of affecting the outcome of a battle or campaign, but both weapon types still attract intense interest and strong advocacy for further use. The sole experience with the use of nuclear weapons in warfare shows that they hastened surrended by Japan, created competition among nations to develop more such weapons, and influenced efforts to ban any use or even the stock piling of such weapons. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. It has more than 700 cross-referenced entries on terms related to NBC [nuclear, biological and chemical] warfare, ranging from basic descriptions of substances to details of incidents and episode where NBC weapons were used, historical events, people important to NBC warfare, countries where such weapons have been developed or used, and international treaties and treaty-related organizations."-- |
