Features: Biological and chemical weapons have been demons of war since their birth. The chlorine gas in the trenches of World War I, the bacteriological warfare by Unit 731 during World War II – humanity cannot forget these horrors! But kind people must never think that the era of chemical and biological weapons is far behind us. In this book, we prove with irrefutable facts that chemical and biological weapons did not disappear with the entry into force of international treaties; instead, they continue to threaten human peace in new ways and means, posing unprecedented threats and challenges to humanity. Beware, kind people! Biological and chemical weapons, with their unique combat effectiveness, modes of action, and characteristics, have become the world's most feared large-scale weapons. For a long time, chemical and biological weapons have been monopolized by superpowers, regarded as a crucial field in the arms race and an important card to maintain their strategic interests. China is a victim of chemical and biological weapons. During the invasion of China, Japan used chemical and biological weapons extensively against our country, causing nearly 100,000 of our military and civilian personnel to suffer poisoning and death. "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." We fervently hope for a world free of chemical and biological weapons, but at the same time, we must remain vigilant and strengthen our preparedness. This book is richly illustrated and easy to understand, making it suitable for military personnel and, as well as a valuable resource for national defense education for students.
