In WWII the US subjected around 60,000 US servicemen to chemical warfare experiments. The objectives of these experiments was two-fold: improve protection and defense against enemy CW, and comprehend the requirements necessary for an Allied CW retaliation.

BG Alden Waitt stated in WWII that what the US lacked was something authoratative on CW. These field trials led to the two part report "Tachnical Aspects of Chemical Warfare in the Field" (TACWIF, 1946), and the experience that may have been necessary in response to an Axis CW offensive.

Unfortunately, these 60,000 servicement were exposed to chemicals that are now known carcinogens at a time when such latent effects were not appreciated. That, on top of the intense security surrounding CW research has resulted in a large body of veterans that had suffered health consiquences without compensation or assistance.

Veteran's at Risk is a technical report on what those health consiquences are by reviewing the toxicology and medical knowledge on Mustard Gas and Lewisite. It also reviews the technical literature resulting from the WWII field trials and experiments. In the end, the NAS concluded that there was cause to believe that veterns had been adversely affected, and that all documentation from these experiments should be made publically available to assist these veterans.

The authors do an excellent job of covering the pathology of Mustard Gas and Lewisite. The details of WWII field trials and experiments are also still useful today in comprehending the disposition of vesicant casualties. This book is required reading for anyone anticipating treating vesicant casualties.

The only faults to the book that I could discern was poor military posology. The authors did not always calculate dosage correctly, and could have revealed more on unit cancer risk for these vesicants. These faults do not by any means take away from the importance of the book - this is just a word of caution on blindly accepting all the figures reported.

I have a very active two year old granddaughter who never sits still unless you are willing to read this book with her. She has a First Little Golden Book copy of this book that is so worn out from being read that I am desperately trying to replace it for her and that's how I happened across this review form. This story is so much fun to read that the whole family gets involved in reading it together. I think anything that can get a whole family (mom, dad, 10yr old sister, the two year old and even the one year old sister) involved in any activity together, especially something like reading, is great. I enjoyed reading it too when they visited us recently from Japan where they live on an U.S. Airforce base.
