Chemical Weapons and Western Security Policy

Chemical weapons (CW) pose a major policy challenge to the United States and its NATO allies. This book examines how chemical weapons fit into both NATO agreements and the Warsaw Pact, what they are and how they could be used, and the plausibility of arms control approaches when it seems as if established taboos against CW are breaking down. Co-published by the Aspen Strategy Group and the European Strategy Group in cooperation with the Aspen Institute Berlin.
