Chemical Warrior : A Soldier's Story of Fighting the Invisible Enemy
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon
'A gripping account' Daily Mail'One of my heroes' Damien Lewis'Unlike any account of warfare I've read' Billy BillinghamThe scary thing about sarin is it's odourless and colourless. You're not even sure if it's there, but before you know it the gas seeps into your lungs, then your heart. I've put my gas mask on, twisted the valves, just like they trained us at Sandhurst, and still nothing.
I desperately try to inhale again but no matter what I do, there's no air. For thirty years, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon has served in conflict zones around the world. As the army's foremost chemical weapons expert, he built a unique first-hand understanding of how to prevent and respond to attacks - saving countless lives in the process.
Chemical Warrior is a thrilling look at fighting the invisible enemy, from the frontlines of the Gulf and Syria to the devastating home attack at Salisbury. Now updated to include the new frontier of Ukraine - where Hamish advises the government, NGOs and journalists on chemical defence - this is a soldier's story of bravery and survival against the odds.
