The A to Z of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warfare covers the
development and use of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons
as well as efforts to limit or control the use of these weapons through
a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and dictionary
entries. Over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries provide a unique
selection of terms related to NBC warfare, ranging from basic
descriptions of substances used in NBC warfare to details on incidents
and episodes where NBC weapons were used. Entries are structured around
historical events, persons important to NBC warfare, countries where
such weapons have been developed or used, and international treaties and
treaty-related organizations.
