Trade paperback. xvii, 427 p. Illustrations (Boxes, Figures, and Tables0. Bibliography. Index. This report was sponsored by the Committee to Survey the Health Effects of Mustard Gas and Lewisite, Division of Health Promotion and Disease PRevention, Institute of Medicine. Recently, World War II veterans have come forward to claim compensation for health effects they say were caused by their participation in chemical warfare experiments. In response, the Veterans Administration asked the Institute of Medicine to study the issue. Based on a literature review and personal testimony from more than 250 affected veterans, this new volume discusses in detail the development and chemistry of mustard agents and Lewisite followed by interesting and informative discussions about these substances and their possible connection to a range of health problems, from cancer to reproductive disorders. The volume also offers an often chilling historical examination of the use of volunteers in chemical warfare experiments by the U.S. military-what the then-young soldiers were told prior to the experiments, how they were "encouraged" to remain in the program, and how they were treated afterward. This comprehensive and controversial book will be of importance to policymakers and legislators, military and civilian planners, officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs, military historians, and researchers. Good. No dust jacket as issued. Institute of Medicine press release laid in. Publication date of January 6, 1993 printed on cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. Pre-publication version?
