Most Helpful 0 of 0 review helpful Life and Death in chemistry By MR ALAN R TILSON I am a chemist and interested in war history as well This book was a splendid amalgam of both interests It was a bit light on chemical reactions details but the issues of sourcing and logistics more than made up for this I have done a lot of work in these areas It ready on hand to dip into as time allows 0 of 0 review helpful Within months of the start of the First World War Germany began to run out of the raw materials it needed to make explosives As Germany faced imminent defeat chemists such as Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch came to the rescue with Nobel Prize winning discoveries that overcame the shortages and enabled the country to continue in the war Similarly Britain could not have sustained its war effort for four years had it not been for chemists like Chaim Weizmann who was late This is an interesting book offering a different view from the large number that have been written on the politics and strategies of the war It is well written extensively referenced and includes a useful last chapter on the top 50 chemicals of the Great War
