“This book presents the history, chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of mustard compounds with an emphasis on the toxicological effects on specific organ systems. … This comprehensive book focuses specifically on the biological effects of mustard compounds, thus complementing existing books on chemical warfare agents. It should prove to be a useful reference for its intended audience.” (Beth Levant, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2016)
