Fries and Clarence J. West is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the development and implementation of chemical weapons during World War I, highlighting the historical significance of chemical warfare and its impact on modern military strategy. The authors, key figures within the Chemical Warfare Service of the U.S. Army, aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of chemical warfare techniques, the agents used, and the advances made in protective measures. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed examination of the topic by emphasizing the need for an authoritative account of chemical warfare, particularly in light of its rapid evolution during the war. The preface outlines the motivation behind the book, highlighting the authors’ patriotic duty and the necessity for accurate information to serve various military branches and civilian chemists. It also addresses the historical context of poison gases, starting from earlier conflicts, such as ancient wars, and leads into the first uses of gas in World War I, commencing with the German attacks at Ypres. This introduction positions the reader to explore the in-depth chapters that follow, which will further dissect the chemistry, application, and consequences of chemical weapons in warfare.
