Overview

Chemical weapons (CW) pose a major policy challenge to the United States and its NATO allies. Moral objection is widespread. It is generally understood that the use of CW by the Soviet Union might represent such a grave escalation of the conflict as to compel NATO to consider the use of nuclear weapons in response. This book examines how chemical weapons fit into both NATO agreements and the Warsaw Pact, what they are and how they could be used, and the plausibility of arms control approaches, when it seems as if established taboos against CW are breaking down.
