Breathe Freely! The Truth About Poison Gas

Description

'The master mind behind this new method of warfare was Professor Haber, a civilian and a Jew. These two disabilities so prejudiced the brains of the German General Staff--typical army aristocrats, all pure Aryans--against his project that it was only in the teeth of great opposition that it was ever brought to execution. The objections raised against it were not humanitarian in the slightest; everyone was simply sceptical that an outsider and a Jew could know anything new about warfare.' --p.32; 'It remains, in conclusion, to mention the fate of Professor Haber. The man who might have won the war for his Fatherland in 1915 went into so-called voluntary exile from that Fatherland when the Nazi régime was instituted in 1933. He was not only a Jew, he had served on the League of Nations’ Committee on Chemical Warfare. To the eternal credit of British scientists, let it be added, he spent the last months of his life as an honoured guest in the laboratories of Cambridge University.' --p.94 Front cover ......Page 1 Half-title ......Page 3 Title Page ......Page 5 Printer's imprint ......Page 6 Dedication ......Page 7 Note to third printing ......Page 8 Preface ......Page 9 Contents ......Page 11 Foreword ......Page 13 1.
