Going through some old stuff i found something hat caught my eye, so I decided to make a topic about it. Maybe others have found similar things while digging around in attics. If you have, post a brief summary of it.
The book is from 1925. The pages are old and worn, turning that yellowish brown color. Its got the old rustic smell of a book long past its time, possibly detailing of something of importance. The pages, all cut at different lengths, mismatched and misaligned, are frail and hard. The book is called Callinicus A Defense of Chemical Warfare.
The book holds some of the darkest secrets of chemical warfare, the unofficial rules and standards. It details some possible tactics used for taking ground during The Great War, most of which are slightly racist in nature. The book in general is a depressing read and while only a 80 pages, it details experiments carried out on humans as well as dogs and people of different races. But I suppose a book supporting the idea of chemical warfare is depressing in and of itself, but hindsight is 20/20.
I figured this book was cool, a little piece of history from 91 years ago and it made me curious if anyone else has uncovered similar books or pieces of history.
