Project Gutenberg 1998-04-01 Public domain in the USA. 159 Lefebure, Victor The Riddle of the Rhine: Chemical Strategy in Peace and War "The Riddle of the Rhine: Chemical Strategy in Peace and War" by Victor Lefebure is a historical account published in the early 20th century, focusing particularly on the evolution and implications of chemical warfare during and after World War I. It details the complexities of the chemical campaign initiated by Germany, exploring the interconnections between chemical industries, warfare strategy, and international disarmament discussions. The opening of the book sets a serious tone, emphasizing the hidden and ongoing threats posed by chemical warfare. Lefebure reflects on the inadequacies of public and governmental understanding of the true dangers inherent in chemical weapons, especially in post-war contexts where the legacy of such warfare loomed large. The author draws upon his unique firsthand experiences in chemical warfare to advocate for a clearer recognition of the issues at hand. He underlines the powerful role that Germany's chemical manufacturing capabilities played during the war and stresses the necessity for Allied countries to rethink their policies to ensure national and international safety in relation to chemical weapons. Overall, the initial chapters lay a foundation for a discussion on the critical nature of chemical warfare and its implications for future disarmament efforts.
