Drawing from once- classified government records, military reports, scientists' papers, and veterans' testimony, Susan L. Smith assesses the poisonous legacies of these experiments, including scientific racism and environmental degradation. In addition, she reveals their surprising impact on the origins of chemotherapy as cancer treatment and the development of veterans' rights movements. 650 0 Mustard gas|xToxicology. 650 0 Chemical weapons|zUnited States|xTesting. 650 0 Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous. 650 2 Mustard Gas|xtoxicity. 650 7 MEDICAL|xPharmacology.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xHuman Rights.|2bisacsh 650 7 Chemical weapons|xTesting.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00853256 650 7 Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonous.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00938661 650 7 Mustard gas|xToxicology.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01031124 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9780813586090|z0813586097|w(DLC) 2016015515|w(OCoLC)956775084 914 ocn965738181 994 92|bGTK
