"The never-before-told story of how a daring group of scientists, solders, and spies developed the original weapons of mass destruction and redefined modern warfare forever. Strikingly powerful, Hellfire Boys takes readers inside the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service in World War I, revealing how this secretive and largely forgotten military branch began preparing to deluge German troops with chemical attacks, even inching toward dropping gas bombs on German cities. As the tactical advantages of chemical weaponry grew, the nation planned for all-out war, setting the stage for sill more powerful weapons of mass destruction that would go on to define warfare in the twentieth century." - from the rear outer cover. "Through dogged reporting and a clear-eyed journey back through a world of secrets that are literarlly toxic, Theo Emery has dispassionately constructed an astonishing story of the scientists and soldiers who were tasked with winning a horrible war a century ago. Refusing to allow our modern revulsion for chemical weapons (however well-founded) to shape his extraordinary narrative, Emery - like all good historians - is determined to let the era of his subject speak for itself. A terrifying piece of history that almost no one knows." - Hampton Sides, author. "A fascinating and deeply researched account of how America reinvented its military - and itself - in its first modern global war. Theo Emery combines science, history, and character-driven drama to illuminate some of the darkest aspects of our national past." - Beverly Gage, author and Prifessor of History and American Studies at Yale University. "In 1915, when German forces executed the first successful gas attack of World War I, the world watched in horror as the boundaries of warfare were forever changed. Cries of barbarism rang throughout Europe, yet Allied nations immediately jumped into the fray, kick-starting an arms race that would redefine a war already steeped in unimaginable horror. Largely forgotten in the confines of history, the development of the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service left an indelible imprint on World War I. In 1917, the War Department harnessed the scientific prowess of the civilian Bureau of Mines to research gas warfare, while assembling military units devoted solely to chemical weaponry, outfitting regiments with hastily designed protective gear, and recruiting scientists and engineers from around the country into the fight, including an infamous German spy and saboteur. As the threat of new gases and more destructive chemicals grew stronger, the War Department created the Chemical Warfare Service, transforming the chemists' secret work in the laboratories into an explosive fusion of steel, science, and gas on the battlefield. Drawing from years of research, Theo Emery brilliantly shows how World War I quickly spiraled into a chemists' war, one led by the companies of young American engineers-turned-soldiers who would soon become known as the Hellfire Boys. As gas attacks began to mark the heaviest and most devastating battles, these brave and brilliant men were on the front lines, racing against the clock - and the Germans - to develop and unleash the latest weapons of mass destruction." - from the inner front jacket flap.
