The Riddle of the Rhine: Chemical Strategy in Peace and War by Victor Lefebure is a historical account of the chemical warfare that took place during World War I. The book focuses on the use of chemical weapons by both the Allies and the Central Powers, with a particular emphasis on the German chemical industry and its role in the war. Lefebure explores the development of chemical weapons, the tactics used by both sides, and the impact of chemical warfare on the soldiers who fought in the trenches. The book also delves into the political and diplomatic aspects of chemical warfare, including the use of propaganda and the international efforts to ban chemical weapons after the war. Overall, The Riddle of the Rhine is a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most devastating and controversial aspects of World War I.1923. With a preface by Marshal Foch. An account of the critical struggle for power and for the decisive war initiative. The campaign fostered by the great Rhine factories, and the pressing problems which they represent. A matter of preeminent public interest concerning the sincerity of disarmament, the future of warfare, and the stability of peace. The book describes the development of chemical (gas) warfare in a most readable fashion. The main idea of the book was to dissuade the League of Nations from banning chemical weapons since, at the time, the Allies had the ascendancy.
