Book 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 program. The Soviets and
Western powers embarked on a new arms race, amassing huge chemical
arsenals.

From 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.

Toxic recounts the grisly history of these weapons of mass
destruction: a deadly suite of invisible, odorless killers.
